ISBN: 0836131053 ISBN-13: 9780836131055 Publisher: Herald Press (VA) OUR PRICE: $89.99 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: December 1990 Annotation: This volume updates some of the materials in the first four volumes of The Mennonite Encyclopedia. It also adds almost 1000 new articles on many topics. Some of these topics grow out of continuing research in Anabaptism. Some are the result of new interpretations arrived at since the publication of the first four volumes. And some report on new developments within the global Mennonite and Brethren-in-Christ family. Thus this volume continues and builds upon the work of the earlier set. |
