A Heavy Read (3/5) | Aug 16, 2009 | Smurf | Akron Oh US |
|
Even tho I found the book to be on a subject that I am interested in, the style of the writing was way too "Collage Level" for myself. When I bought this I was expected some straight forward teaching like D.Bercot or D.Kauffman does, but it is not even close to that style. It took me a long time to get thru it, and tho it is a good book with a lot of information, and is well worth the $$, the writing style made me re-read way too much. |

Use in my Classes (4/5) | May 15, 2010 | Rev. Timothy Buss | Highland Springs VA US |
| I use this book for an Ante-Nicene Foundation Course I teach. My main point of interest comes from the material on Constantine, and how the whole hybrid mess got started. Well written, plenty of through research. I do recognize that there is a certain slant that Rev. Verduin brings to the book as it does seem to have an Anabaptist perspective. | ||||

Zwingli and Infant Baptism (4/5) | Sep 7, 2009 | Herb Kraker | Hudsonville MI US |
|
This book is a worthwhile read on the subject of Anabaptism and the Reformers. Rev. Verduin has done considerable research. However, with respect to a related matter, infant baptism, the book contains a flaw. It attributes a quote to the Reformer Zwingli incorrectly. Dialogos Studies has done research into this. The practice of infant baptism should be cleared of this error. For more information on this see: http://www.dialogos-studies.com/Dialogos/baptism/Zwingli_on_Infant_Baptism.htm |
