4.0 out of 5 stars Great Little Intro to Anabaptism, December 18, 2011
This review is from: The Anabaptist Vision (Paperback)
This is one of the first books I read as an intro to Anabaptism. Initially it answered many of my nagging doubts regarding modern evangelicalism. It also fired me up and got me really excited about following the Bible and the words of Jesus literally. If you know nothing about Anabaptists, Amish or Mennonites then this book is for you. Well worth the few quid you spend on it. It's a great book. the book that kind of clinched it for me really in my decision to become Amish-Mennonite. though when I got there I found modern day Anabaptism is not what I thought it was or what historical Anabaptism was.

I went the way of so many. Looking for the perfect Church according to my own set of standards of what perfect is. Like so many I didn't find it. Many end up leaving the Church and just heading out on their own with their family. Others try to recreate the Church and end up like the groups they despise.

I tried a different route. Find the Church of the first century, locate it on earth today. Join it, and submit myself to it. What I found wasn't necessarily what I was comfortable with, but it is the Church that Jesus established through His Apostles, sinners and all! The Orthodox Church doesn't have the prettiest history, but neither does ancient Judaism, yet Jesus said the people of his day regarding the pharisees, and I paraphrase "do what they say, but don't do what they do, for they sit in the seat of Moses." Now if he could say that about the hypocritical pharisees, how much more the successors of the Apostles, the men who sit in their seats? And there are plenty of righteous men in the Orthodox Church, past and present.

Schism is a great sin, numbered right up there with adultery and murder. The Anabaptist Church is infamous for it's history of schism. If you are searching for the truth, I encourage you to consider Orthodoxy. A good book to start with is either The Way: What Every Protestant Should Know about the Orthodox Church or Becoming Orthodox: A Journey to the Ancient Christian Faith.

4.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, March 20, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Anabaptist Vision (Paperback)
Excellent content which appears to be objective and accurate. Thirty-six pages constitutes a pamphlet. "Paperback" is a misleading description. I could have downloaded this information much less expensively.
