A Bibliography of J. A. Toews' Published Writings
The materials issuing directly from J. A. Toews’ preaching and teaching ministry are extensive but they constitute only a part (though significant part) of his total achievement and of the ample legacy which he left to all of us. The periodical articles and books which issued from his pen are another and, in one sense, even more abiding contribution to the Mennonite Brethren community at large. The wonder is that J. A. Toews wrote as much as he did, much of it in the midst of a relentlessly crowded schedule of activities and all of it within an interval of time shorter than that granted to most of us. Here again, the visible outcome of his aspirations and efforts clearly testifies to a life disciplined by good work habits and energized by the Spirit of God.
The fact—if it is a fact—has sometimes been lamented that, among our Mennonite people, historical and devotional writing has overshadowed writing of a more rigorously theological kind. John A. Toews, as we know, was an historian by virtue of both personal inclination and formal education, and his historical writings leave no doubt about his abilities in this mode of writing. But in Toews’ case we also perceive, and this very quickly, that his interests and competence reached into various areas of Christian thought and concern.
The following bibliography of his writings reveals that Biblical theology (in the more formal sense), church practise and polity, church-sponsored education, evangelism and missions, social and political issues, and a host of very ordinary and practical questions, engaged his strong and continuing interest. It reveals that he could not, and would not, restrict himself—as a leader among his people—to such subjects only as emerged (naturally and necessarily) in the context of his teaching career.
The bibliography which follows includes Toews’ published articles (in journals, family and church papers, and a few “annuals”), published books, chapters appearing in books edited by others, published and unpublished theses, as well as some of his printed messages/lectures. The bibliography reflects a serious attempt, on the part of this compiler, to be complete but he is not captive to the illusion that every last one of J. A. Toews’ published pieces has here been unearthed and safely fixed in an infallible document. All entries, whether they refer to articles or to books, appear in strictly chronological sequence and are set forth according to current bibliographic practise. {40}
