A short work by John Howard Yoder published in German by Agape Verlag in 1964. It grew from a paper given at the Iserlohn theological conference of 1957 on the lordship of Christ over church and state. Yoder argues that discipleship of Jesus is not a withdrawal from political responsibility but a form of it. An English translation was published in 2003 by Herald Press as Discipleship as Political Responsibility.
