In the historic meeting held in 1527 at Schleitheim, Switzerland, an ad hoc group of Anabaptists worked through fundamental disagreements and emerged with a consensus on seven points of faith that became known as the Schleitheim Confession. Also known as the, Brotherly Union, this text constitutes one chapter from The Legacy of Michael Sattler.

Editorial Reviews
Review
The Schleithem Confession gave substance to a movement which until then had largely been without form, a movement seemingly as varied as the individuals espousing the cause. Schleitheim brought structure and focus. Perhaps three ideas, central to the Seven Articles of Schleitheim, when taken together, define early Anabaptism: the nature of Christian obedience, the idea of a gathered people of God, and the way of Christian love. --Leonard Gross, Mennonite Historical Commission

This review is from: Schleitheim Confession (Paperback)
It is good if you just want to review the Schleitheim Confession. However, if you are looking for more information on how and why it was written, look for other books on Michael Sattler. John Howard Yoder wrote one titled "The Legacy of Michael Sattler" that is excellent.

This review is from: Schleitheim Confession (Paperback)
For anyone interested in the Anabaptists and their legacy as the true reformers of the 14th-16th centuries this short confession is an excellent resource.
The Schleitheim Confession was an early confession by The Radicals, or Anabaptists, concerning such issues as the Christological view of Scripture in the N.T. church order, the ban, the swearing of oaths and non resistance. The Anabaptists were years ahead of any of the Reformation Era theologians and were an example of true Biblical, primitive Christianity in their day. I rate this as a four star only because this confession is available for free on the internet. I like to have the hard copy for reference however and so I purchased this in book form.
