If you are interested in the unfolding history of the global Mennonite Church, our Anabaptist-Mennonite studies minor may be right for you! The program is dynamic and evolving as students and professors dig into a complex history that spans from 16th century Europe to modern-day Asia, Africa, South America and beyond.
At GC, you’ll have the chance to study under one of the foremost scholars and writers on Anabaptist history in the world: Professor of History John D. Roth, the creator of the Institute for the Study of Global Anabaptism. The faculty focus especially on teaching students how the Anabaptist movement is developing in continents outside of Europe and North America.
You’ll also have access to the world’s most comprehensive collections of Mennonite materials in the campus’ Mennonite Historical Library. During a May term course, you could even study Anabaptist history first-hand in Europe or Paraguay, where over 20 different Anabaptist-Mennonite groups have settled.
Justin Heinzekehr, director of institutional research and assessment and assistant professor of Bible and religion, explores the significance of the empty tomb and Jesus’ physical absence for Anabaptist theology in a new book titled “The Absent Christ: An Anabaptist Theology of the Empty Tomb” (Cascadia Publishing House, 2019).
On June 17-19, more than 30 people from 12 different countries gathered on the campus of Goshen College to participate in a conversation about gathering and preserving sources that are crucial to the history of the global Anabaptist-Mennonite church.
