Complete Works of Menno Simon Volume 1

About this book

The first volume of the complete writings of Menno Simons, the sixteenth-century Dutch Anabaptist leader, in English translation. Gathered here are treatises in which Menno sets out his faith: the new birth, believers' baptism, the church, and a life of discipleship separated from the world. His voice is earnest, biblical in idiom, and marked by suffering for conscience's sake.
