This review is from: Andreas Fischer and the Sabbatarian Anabaptists: An Early Reformation Episode in East Central Europe (Studies in Anabaptist and Mennonite History) (Hardcover)

This book is one that you would want to read if you are either a Sabbath keeper or want to read about the early history of Sabbath keeping at the beginnings of the reformation.

From Glaidt's beginnings as a radical to his chiliastic philosophy (regarding the return of Christ), you see how Glaidt grew in his christian understanding.

Fishcer is the main character of focus. His beliefs, his lifes work, his being persecuted and his continuance in the face of depravation is an inspiration to anyone who has ever lost something because of faith.

Read Fischer and learn.
