Schwenckfeld's Catechism
Dr. Drake Williams, Christian Williams, Grant Gebbie, and Dr. Peter
Erb have spent the past couple of years translating Schwenckfeld’s
catechism and confessions from German into English. The publication
is ready for printing by Pandora Press of Canada.
Pandora Press is a recognized press within Anabaptist and Radical
Reformation studies. Having Pandora publish the volume would also
circulate the catechism project among a broader audience, a way of
promoting Schwenkfelder studies.
This is rare opportunity to discover what Caspar Schwenckfeld believed
and taught. Please consider contacting the office of Central Schwenkfelder
Church with your vote of interest in purchasing a copy and passing
this along to anyone that may be interested.
