The Theology of Anabaptism: An Interpretation.

Friedmann, Robert

Religion & Spirituality

Herald Pr

Written in the gloom of a sixteenth-century Austrian dungeon when its author -- a noted Anabaptist writer -- was only twenty-three, Love Is like Fire serves as a striking reminder of the spirit that fired the hearts of early "heretics" during the Reformation.
A first translation, this book is an important addition to the small but growing number of primary sources on Anabaptism in English. In addition to the confession are two important supplements: "How We Should Build the House of God" and "Seven Pillars of this House".

Written in 1954 but unpublished in his lifetime, Robert Friedmann's Design for Living asks that pertinent existential question: how should we live? Drawing on literary, philosophical, and theological sources, Friedmann's answer begins with a critique of utilitarian ethics and popular apathy, and proceeds through an existential preparation that ascends in confessional style to the question of the meaning of human life, culminating in a fourfold set of principles: regard, concern, service, and love. Along the way, Friedmann's critical eye remains clearly fixed on his object of study--lived experience, and not abstract principles detached from day-to-day life--and he intentionally guides his reader step by step up the mountain of spiritual and ethical inquiry in a deliberate and serious attempt to educate the heart, mind, and soul. At once accessible and scholarly, while troubling our contemporary divide between religion and the secular, Design for Living presents a rare vision of human meaning and purpose that will appeal to scholarly and public readers alike.
