Description: Martyrs Mirror : A Social History, Hardcover by Weaver-Zercher, David L., ISBN 1421418827, ISBN-13 9781421418827, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Weaver-Zercher argues that Martyrs Mirror, aka seventeenth-century Dutch Mennonite Minister Thielman van Braght’s Blood Theater, has functioned and continues to function as a measure of Christian faithfulness. Leaders have employed Martyrs Mirror as the spiritual instruction of adolescents, schooling them in key tenets of the faith--chief among them adult baptism and nonresistance--and impressing upon them the necessity of being faithful in difficult circumstances. About 2,500 Anabaptists lost their lives in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, mostly in Switzerland and the Netherlands, but also in other regions. The intensity of persecution suffered by Anabaptists shaped the movement’s identity and its historical trajectory; Anabaptists assumed a “martyrological mentality” to an extent that other Reformation movements did not.
