Beskrivning

This centuries-old document explains five core beliefs for which thousands of Christians chose exile over security and, for many, a martyr’s death over long life.The Hutterites, the communal Anabaptist group that compiled these writings – attributed to one of the group’s leaders, Peter Walpot – believed Christianity had strayed from its original simplicity. The result of biblical exegesis performed in clandestine gatherings, refugee encampments, and castle dungeons, this statement of faith lays out practical applications of core Christian teachings. An assiduous new translation and historical introduction help orient today’s reader.
