Dancing with
the Kobzar
"This joyous, deftly-written
history of Bluffton College flows along like the campus's
Little Riley Creek, one of the book's central images.
Dancing with the Kobzar allows readers to see the
changing landscapes, physical and metaphorical, in which
this institution has taken shape." —Susan
Fisher Miller, North Park University, author of Culture
for Service: A History of Goshen College, 1894-1994
"Much of Bush’s analysis
could fit many Christian colleges and universities:
Bluffton’s story includes the tension inherent in
the academy when it supports the ‘search for
truth’ while affirming that Christ is the living
truth." —Joseph M. Lapp, President, Eastern
Mennonite University
"Don't know what a Kobzar is?
You'll dance with one by the time you finish this
colorful narrative. Wit, candor, and scholarly insight
converge in this inspiring story of Mennonites engaging
the world with the best of their own tradition."
—J. Nelson Kraybill, President, Associated
Mennonite Biblical Seminary
"Bush offers a moving tale . . .
lively with ideas, arts, faith, pranks, athletics,
financial struggles, promotions, peacemaking, patriotic
fevers, self-giving service." —Theron
Schlabach, Editor-in-Chief, Studies in Anabaptist and
Mennonite History
"A story both sobering and
inspiring, it stirs reflection while documenting one
institution’s first century as an experiment in
Mennonite higher education." —Lee Snyder,
President, Bluffton College
