What Would You Do?: A Serious Answer to a Standard Question

John Howard Yoder helps answer the age-old question, What would you do if someone was attacking your grandmother, husband, wife, daughter, or son?; Yoder provides a variety of responses to this classic question: his own thorough ethical analysis along with the answers given by other writers such as Leo Tolstoy, Dale Brown, and Dale Aukerman and a variety of real-life stories of people who have discovered alternative responses to violence.

Mennonite theologian John H. Yoder explores the pros and cons of nonviolent response. Viewpoints on the subject and examples from life are included ranging from Dale Aukerman to Leo Tolstoy, from Joan Baez to Tom Skinner.
