Publisher's Synopsis
Embark on a journey into the heart of Hutterite literature with For God's Truth. Despite facing periodic persecution and dislocation over the last five centuries, Hutterites produced a rich literary heritage. This Reader contains key texts-letters, confessions, Gemeindeordnungen, historical narratives, and martyr ballads-some translated into English for the first time. Discover how these writers engaged in a pursuit of what they believed to be God's truth, against a backdrop of social upheaval and religious intolerance. Perfect for scholars, history students, and enthusiasts, this collection sheds light on the theological and historical dimensions of Hutterite life and spirituality, and invites a deeper consideration of their enduring legacy.
