Complete Works of Menno Simon Volume 2

About this book

The second volume of the complete writings of Menno Simons in English translation. These later treatises and letters continue the themes of the first volume — repentance, baptism, the Lord's Supper, discipline, and patient endurance under persecution — addressed to scattered congregations in the Low Countries and northern Germany. Together the two volumes preserve the fullest statement of early Mennonite faith and practice.
