Pacifist Theology and the Problem of Mennonite Violence in Miriam Toews’ Women Talking and Casey Plett’s Little Fish

This paper examines how the Mennonite theology of pacifism has enacted, perpetuated, and allowed for violence against particularly marginalized groups such as women and the LGBTQ+ community. Through studying contemporary Mennonite literature, this paper attempts to discover how this literature reveals this violence, shows it to be working, and attempts to redeem the Mennonite faith and pacifism itself as positive in the world. / Thesis / Master of Arts (MA)
