The Chronicle of the Hutterian Brethren, Vol I, translated and edited by the Bruderhof, is 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 standpoint of 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 faithfulnss and tenacity that has held the Hutterites together for 450 years of communal living.

This book includes numerous annotations, notes, secondary references, maps, illustrations, bibliography and index.

Mark Edwards, St. Olaf College:
"Belongs in every university, college, seminary and in better public libraries."

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 an unusual Christian community"

"For your information and understanding: The Plough and the Bruderhofs are not presently recognized by the Hutterites of the Mid-West, Far-West and Canada. We continue to look to the early Hutterites of the first 100 years for inspiration." (Derek Wardle, 28 Jan 1997)
