Produktbeschreibung
On a cold winter day in 1527, a group of persecuted Anabaptists secretly gathered in the town of Schleitheim seeking unity and desiring to clarify where they differed from the established state churches. The Schleitheim Confession was born from that meeting and soon became popular and influential among the Anabaptists - even to this present day. Should it matter to us today what some persecuted Christians believed nearly 500 years ago? Can the convictions they had be backed up Scripturally? This book examines the Schleitheim Confession in light of the Scriptures. The early Anabaptists lived and died for the faith once delivered to the saints, and we can profit from examining their conclusions, compariing them with the Scriptures, and following Christ as they followed Him.
