Love Is Like Fire: The Confession of an Anabaptist Prisoner

Written in the gloom of a sixteenth-century Austrian dungeon when its author -- a noted Anabaptist writer -- was only twenty-three, Love Is like Fire serves as a striking reminder of the spirit that fired the hearts of early "heretics" during the Reformation.A first translation, this book is an important addition to the small but growing number of primary sources on Anabaptism in English. In addition to the confession are two important supplements: "How We Should Build the House of God" and "Seven Pillars of this House".
