This book originally appeared in German in 1895 and now has been translated into English. Muller was an ordained minister in the Reformed Church in Switzerland in 1874, but served as a pastor in the Emmental region of Canton Bern where Anabaptists had established congregations. His thorough research of the Anabaptists gives detailed accounts of their persecution, imprisonment, suffering, sale as galley slaves, and expulsion from Swiss soil. (504pp. illus. index. hardcover with jacket, Pathway Pub., 2010.)

This book compliments the three books Volumes of Documents of Brother Love by Lowry. All help us to understand our Switzerland Anabaptist Mennonite research and struggles met and conquered by our forefathers. Stephen D. Shirk, Historical Chair, The Schürch Family Association of North America.

The best relevant history of our Swiss German ancestors I could want
What our ancestors suffered for their faith and way of life is nothing short of abysmal. It is no wonder they finally fled to what was then British Colonial America. And it is not difficult to see why the writers of our American constitution were adamant about not establishing state religion.
