Robert Kreider, North Newton, Kansas:
"Harold Bender was a powerful presence in my lifeintimidating and inspiring, irritating and energizing, provoking and empowering, dominating and caring. In Albert Keim's captivating study of Bender, I gained much insight into this fascinating, complex person who was one of the commanding figures among Mennonites in this centuryin fact, in our entire American experience.
"This is must reading for anyone seeking to understand the Mennonite story since World War I. Here is a quality biography, rich in engaging detail, honest in providing both light and shadow. In tracing the trail of Harold Bender's focused, fast-paced, relentlessly productive life, one is left exhausted. Will anyone ever be his equal in energy, brilliance, forcefulness, and drive?
"Albert Keim presents us with a biographical case study laced with tangled issues of power and idealism, doctrine and pragmatism, freedom and obedienceall set in the context of Bender's commitment to Christ and his faith community. This is a book I could not put aside."
Franklin H. Littell, Philadelphia:
"Harold Bender was one of the great Christian leaders of the twentieth century of religion in America. His impact was great both in scholarship and in the life of the churches.
"He worked at a time when teachers in other denominations were moving from the uncritical and filial style to application of the scientific method in historical studies. Surmounting considerable opposition in the Mennonite fellowship, to which he remained intensely loyal throughout his life, Bender brought the critical, analytical, and comparative approach to bear upon the Anabaptist-Mennonite history and witness.
"Ever the builder as well as the intellectual, in 1926 he founded The Mennonite Quarterly Reviewa journal still unsurpassed for

both academic quality and churchly relevance. He also wrote several original contributions to Reformation studies.
"Many will remember Bender for his great service in developing Goshen College and Seminary. He also helped to strengthen or found other major agencies and institutions, all reflecting and deepening the witness and outreach of his peoplein peace testimony, in missions, in social justice. He was able to listen and reach out to fellow Christians from different backgrounds, with different perspectives, without loss of charity and patience, and without compromising his own integrity and commitment.
"Bender welcomed me to Goshen and encouraged me in my Anabaptist studies, in which we shared similar convictions. For years I watched him function influentially in the American Society of Church History, where the scholars elected him president and listened to his classic statement of 'The Anabaptist Vision.'
"Brother Bender also remained unshaken in friendship when I moved into work on Christian-Jewish relations. I had become convinced that the wicked violence of Christendom was evident not only in the persecution of Christian dissenters and 'heretics' but also in the martyrdom of the Jewish people, culminating in the Holocaust.
"I am now eighty years of age, and I have known personally some of the great Christian statesmen of America and Europe. I have known no one whom I loved and admired more than Harold S. Benderscholar, educator, statesman, and New Testament Christian. I am grateful to Al Keim for his extraordinary diligence and precise detail in presenting the life and work of this great man and Christian."
