{"product_id":"brothers-in-christ-9781597523004","title":"Brothers in Christ","description":"\u003cp\u003e'Brothers In Christ', a reprint of a ground breaking study by Swiss church historian Fritz Blanke, details the origins of the Anabaptist movement in the little town of Zollikon, near Zurich.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author retraces the development of this fascinating revival, retelling the stories of this movement of dedicated believers - men and women who yearned to live as disciples of Christ in their personal lives and churches. Because of their custom to re-baptize adult converts, they were called Anabaptists. They were a vanguard of the priesthood of all believers, of religious freedom, and of independent church-planting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe men who sparked the Zollikon revival movement - Konrad Grebel, Felix Manz, Johannes Brotli, Jorg Blaurock, and their friends - faced persecution, exile, and even death. This book paints a vivid portrait of the controversies and friction that accompany spiritual awakenings in churches to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat stands out in Fritz Blanke's work is the sensitive and appreciative way in which he depicts the revival among the Lake Zurich vinedressers, balanced with a profound, background knowledge of Zwingli's work and spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe events that took place in Zurich 500 years ago are still very much relevant today. It is time to take steps towards reconciliation and to rediscover the Anabaptist heritage: their courage and their uncompromising devotion to Jesus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wipf \u0026amp; Stock Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/07\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781597523004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.08h x 5.28w x 0.21d","brand":"Fritz Blanke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42077444505781,"sku":"9781597523004","price":13.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_19177a0c-39ad-49b8-8085-4b97fae43439.jpg?v=1650955701","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/brothers-in-christ-9781597523004","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
