Description
Unpretentious but pithy, this little volume places Anabaptism in its historical and spiritual context. In doing so, it sets forth an old but intriguing hypothesis: the true church has always existed somewhere, albeit driven underground at times, and not always identifiable. The main point of Arnold's address is not so much to support a theory of historical continuity, but to demonstrate that the spirit of the apostolic era has never completely disappeared.
