What Would You Do? A Serious Answer to a Standard Question
Publisher: Herald Press
Author: Yoder, John Howard
Location: Scottsdale, PA
Year: 1983

Description: Expanded edition.  In the first half of this class and lucid book, Yoder himself examines the question frequently asked of applicants for conscientious objector status, "What would you do if a violent person threatened harm to a loved one?"  Yoder discusses the relevance and irrelevance of this question to the problem of modern warfare and provides perspectives from an Historic Anabaptist-Mennonite tradition.  In the second part of the book, a number of famous people give their responses to the same problems.
