| The Anabaptist Story | View shopping basket | |
| by William R. Estep | ||
|
paperback, 348 pages, $20.00 | Add... | |
Cover... Related Items Anabaptist History | Four hundred seventy years ago the Anabaptist movement was
launched with the inauguration of believer's baptism and the formation
of the first congregation of the Swiss Brethren in Zurich, Switzerland.
This standard introduction to the history of Anabaptism by noted church
historian William R. Estep offers a vivid chronicle of the rise and
spread of teachings and heritage of this important stream in
Christianity. This third edition of The Anabaptist Story has been substantially revised and enlarged to take into account the numerous Anabaptist sources that have come to light in the last half-century as well as the significant number of monographs and other scholarly works on Anabaptist themes that have recently appeared. Estep challenges a number of assumptions held by contemporary historians and offers fresh insights into the Anabaptist movement. Copyright 1995. | |

paperback, 118 pages, $7.95 | Add... | |
Cover... Related Items Children | "Erasmus laid the egg that Luther hatched" is what the people said.
And that made young Gerard Koestler smile. He knew that Erasmus had
influenced Luther's thinking. He also believed both men were trying to
serve God according to the Scriptures. Young Gerhard Koestler lived in Germany in the 1500s. He inherited money and a castle when his rich parents died. His Uncle Frederic tried to talk Gerhard into becoming a monk so Frederic could claim the inheritance for his own. But Gerhard had other ideas. After a series of adventures and narrow escapes, Gerhard arrived in Basel, Switzerland. To his delight he was able to live in the same house as Erasmus. Although Erasmus' enemies accused him of agreeing with Martin Luther, Erasmus said that the Bible was his guide. In the end, Gerhard returned to his castle. Not sure whether he wanted to be known as a Catholic or a Lutheran, Gerhard said, "Call me a Christian." No other name was necessary. Reprinted 2002. | |
