Available for the first time ever in English translation, The Chronicle is a fascinating primary account of how Anabaptism began. Containing the only extant account of the first adult baptism in Reformation times, The Chronicle documents Hutterite life in Austria and Moravia from 1528 to 1665 and provides a wealth of economic, social, and cultural detail from the standard point of an oppressed and severely persecuted minority.
As a record of refusal to break under ostracism, torture, and death, this is an unparalleled testimony to the faithfulness and tenacity that has held the Hutterians together through 450 years of communal living.
Includes numerous annotations, notes, and secondary references, maps, illustrations, bibliography, and index.
Tony Campolo, Eastern College
Let it never be said that Christianity which requires faithfulness to the Sermon on the Mount has never been tried. This material will prove that it has, and that it works. A carefully documented record of unusual Christian community.

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".
