Anabaptist
History
Pilgrim Marpeck (ca. 1495-1556) was a dedicated Anabaptist leader who was also a talented civil engineer. Markpeck possessed a keen intelligence and a passion for spiritual and biblical theology. He was one of the most original and eclectic Anabaptist thinkers. On larger projects he wrote collaboratively, with a circle of like-minded Anabaptists. Consequently, authorship of some writings has to be ascribed not only to Markpeck, but to the "Markpeck Circle." Shortly after 1600, however, his writings and his "circle" seemingly disappeared. No distinct Marpeckite Anabaptist community survived the 17th century.

This volume of writings by Pilgram Marpeck and his Circle is the first of a planned set of three. All making available previously untranslated writings. Copyright 1999.

Religions
A classic description of the Anabaptist movement. Walter Klalssen shows how Anabaptists combined elements of Protestantism and Catholicism into a third option that, he argues, has continuing relevance for the present. This is especially true in the areas of lay witness, peace and war, economics, and relationships with the state. Klaassen's hope that increasing numbers of Protestants and Catholics would enter into dialogue with the Anabaptist tradition has in fact been realized. Today Anabaptism is accepted as part of the common heritage of all Christians.

Biography
Walter Klaassen and William Klassen have deeply mined Markpeck's writing and dialogue with other Reformation leaders. They place his life, work and theology in the context of his violent, changing times. This thorough biography shows how Markpeck, perhaps more than any other early Anabaptist figure, helped lay the theoretical and practical foundations of the believers church.

Bible
Some preachers claim that the End is near. They exhaust us with predictions of blood and fire, the sun darkened and the moon turned to blood. Yet Acts claims all this was already fulfilled at the church's first Pentecost.

The forecasters say the rebuilding of Israel as a state is fulfilling the prophecy. But Acts says Israel is being rebuilt in the church with Jews and Gentiles.

Throughout Christian history, all predictions of dates and times have proved false. Why would our modern end-time specialists fare any better?

Klaassen helps Christians to enjoy God's kingdom now and hope for its fulfillment. That hope has nothing to do with literal wars, physical weapons and rivers of human blood. Instead, God is bringing in a peaceable kingdom, ruled by the suffering Lamb, as foreseen by Isaiah and fulfilled in Jesus Christ. This Lamb wins the battle by proclaiming the Word of God.

In this book, Klaassen addresses those who are sure they know when the End is coming, those who are confused and want biblical answers, and those who no longer are concerned about spiritual and heavenly realities.

He carefully shows from Scripture that John's vision of the New Jerusalem is not a physical cube but a spiritual vision of the glory God has prepared for his church and for his Creation. Let anyone who has an ear, listen!
