New sources give clearer view of abuse by theologian

For years, hushed fragments of information circulated in certain circles. John Howard Yoder, the famous Mennonite theologian, did something wrong, but specifics were scattered and elusive.

Then, in 1992, reports of Yoder’s sexual harassment and abuse of women appeared in Mennonite publications and the secular media.

But the story was far from complete. As the years passed and Yoder’s theology attracted a new generation of readers, church leaders heard calls for a full accounting of the facts — including recognition of institutional failures to deal decisively with the problem.
