Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Delbert Wiens was born during the depression to an ethnic, German-speaking, Mennonite family. As an adult, he became the righteous older sibling who wanted, oddly, to identify with his elders. Returning home to Corn, Oklahoma, with a severe case of culture shock after living in Vietnam, he wrote New Wineskins for Old Wine to tell Mennonites they were succumbing to "evangelical" forms of "modernism." Unfortunately, the relentlessness of his analysis convinced many that he had a "dangerous mind." This book tells the story of his recovery of the wisdom of his elders. In response Wiens develops metaphors like concrete and abstract to clarify how civilizations evolve. He centers his attempt to tell stories that, like biblical narratives and parables, evoke traditional attitudes and lifestyles. Phrases like mutual aid and ethnic cliches like Gottesfurcht (honoring God) and Gelassenheit (letting go and letting God) are used to describe their qualities and virtues. The final chapters use a more abstract style to trace some of the positive and negative consequences of "progress." This book circles around its center (chapters 4-9) that describes the faithfulness and character of his elders. May these meditations better evoke the desire to imitate them. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
