From the Back Cover
Only the Sword of the Spirit reconstructs the development of Menno Simon's "Anabaptist Vision" and methodically traces its evolution through the entire northern stream of Mennonites - Holland, Prussia, North Germany, Russia and North America. It highlights some testimonies of fidelity and some embarrassing accounts of slippage in the almost 500 year pilgrimage of these Mennonite peoples. It concludes with an appeal for the recovery of a relevant version of Menno Simon's sixteenth-century vision for our own times.
