A sixteenth-century Anabaptist treatise lays out church teaching on adult baptism, the Lord’s Supper, community of goods, nonviolence, participation in government, marriage, and more.
This centuries-old document explains five core beliefs for which thousands of Christians chose exile over security and, for many, a martyr’s death over long life.
The Hutterites, the communal Anabaptist group that compiled these writings – attributed to one of the group’s leaders, Peter Walpot – believed Christianity had strayed from its original simplicity. The result of biblical exegesis performed in clandestine gatherings, refugee encampments, and castle dungeons, this statement of faith lays out practical applications of core Christian teachings. An assiduous new translation and historical introduction help orient today’s reader.

About the Author
Peter Walpot (1521–1578) was a Hutterian bishop and is the most likely compiler and editor of The Great Article Book, a 1570s work that outlined the basis of biblical theology for the Hutterites.
Emmy Barth Maendel is a member of the Bruderhof communities and a senior archivist for the Bruderhof’s historical archives. She is the author of An Embassy Besieged: The Story of a Christian Community in Nazi Germany, No Lasting Home: A Year in the Paraguayan Wilderness, and editor of Jakob Hutter: His Life and Letters, the previous title in this series.
