Zwingli and Infant Baptism 09/07/2009
By Herb Kraker
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

A Heavy Read 08/16/2009
By Smurf
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 05/14/2010
By Rev. Timothy Buss
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.

The Anatomy of a Hybrid 07/26/2012
By David MacAdam
This book is amazing. Verduin has changed the way I view Christianity in society. I believe he also explains very well what is that mystery of God that Paul speaks of. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who wants a deeper understanding of the principle of separation between church and state.

A Must Read for any Serious Christian 07/31/2017
By Dean Wilson
Although the work is written in a strongly academic way, it is nonetheless, an important read for an serious student of truth. A life changing read for me! I plan on reading it again soon.

By Dennis Carroll
A monumental valuable resource telling the truth of one of history's great tragedies and unknown truth of the Church dominated by force rather than by faith.
