Subtitled: "Essays on the Persecution, Survival, and Flourishing of Anabaptists and Mennonites"

These essays represent a lifetime of research and reflection, ranging from topics in 16th-century Anabaptism (historiography, recantation, hymnody, congregational life, martyrdom), to Amish history and theology, to autobiographical reflections on life in a Civilian Public Service camp during World War II.
