In the last decade – now that his sexual abuse is no longer deniable – Christian ethicists have had to reconsider John Howard Yoder’s theological contributions in the late twentieth century. This essay considers how the witness of the women who survived his abuse exposes the sexism latent in his development of a framework for moral discernment and community discipline. Yoder designed an ecclesiology that was congruent with his pursuit of unaccountable power over the women he used as subjects for working out his exploitative sexuality. His theological contributions, I argue, cannot be separated from his behavior.

约翰·霍华德·约德受虐的道德伦理

在过去的十年中-既然他的性虐待不再应受谴责-基督教伦理学家不得不重新考虑约翰·霍华德·约德（John Howard Yoder）在20世纪后期的神学贡献。本文考虑了遭受虐待后幸存的妇女的证人如何暴露出他在发展道德辨别力和社区纪律框架方面的潜在性别歧视。约德（Yoder）设计了一种教会学，与他追求那些对她们进行剥削性活动的女性所施加的权力不负责任的追求相吻合。我认为，他的神学贡献不能与他的行为分开。
