This book provides the reader with the core values that Mennonites confess prior to becoming members of a Mennonite congregation. The book includes commentary and biblical references. Essential for any Mennonite or person who wants to know what Mennonites believe.
This wonderful little book is a highly readable explanation of the Mennonite faith. Prepared by theologians from two North American Mennonite groups (the Mennonite Church and the General Conference Mennonite Church), it is a work of thought that is practically a work of art. The book contains twenty-three chapters on the key articles of Mennonite faith; each article contains a statement of faith (e.g. “We believe that...”), Bible references, and a clear and concise commentary.Overall, I found this book to be a wonderful resource. The people who prepared it have done an excellent job of presenting the Mennonite faith in a way that is understandable to everyone, regardless of their knowledge of who the Mennonites are. So, if you are a non-Mennonite who is interested in the Mennonite faith, or are a Mennonite who wishes to have a short but succinct statement of their faith, then I highly recommend this book to you.
I was given this book after I was converted in a Mennonite church in Maine as a part of a short discipleship class. This book is excellent in its clear and concise descriptions of what Mennonites believe on most important subjects in theology. The book contains ample endnotes when needed to further explain a concept from the basic statements given in the chapters. Anyone in the Anabaptist movement could also use this resource as a good discipleship tool or group study guide.I have found myself going back to this book at times when considering my own doctrinal position to glean from the truths contained therein. I consider myself an Anabaptist and this is an excellent resource.
just wanted a copy of my own...
