ichGlaub 13.0

IchGlaub is a collection of historical and theological Christian books with Anabaptist roots, widely embraced by Christian communities in the USA and Canada. The majority of these books were originally penned in German and subsequently translated into English.

An outstanding example is Riedemann's Confession of Faith, composed while in prison between 1540-1542 for the Lutheran ruler Philip of Hesse. In this work, Riedemann articulates his vision for a revitalized community, debunking prevalent misconceptions. His vibrant perspective on radical and communal discipleship continues to inspire believers towards deeper devotion to the Lord and to one another. Through skillful integration of a fresh interpretation of the Bible with traditional creeds, Riedemann establishes a robust foundation for Christian communities. His Confession not only provides theological underpinnings for Hutterite economic communalism but also furnishes practical insights, serving as a guiding light for Hutterite communities.

Additionally, ichGlaub includes both German and English versions of the Chronicles of the Hutterian Brethren, chronicling Hutterite life in Austria and Moravia from 1528 to 1665. This invaluable resource offers a treasure trove of information on economic, social, and cultural aspects through the lens of an oppressed and severely persecuted minority.

These offerings merely scratch the surface of what ichGlaub has in store. Works such as Hutterite Co's in WWI, Stories of the Hutterites, Over the Mountains, Hutterite Epistles, and Hutterische Artikelbuch promise to captivate readers on many a chilly winter evening.
