ichGlaub is a Anabaptist collection of historical and theological Christian books used by Christians throughout USA and Canada. Most of the books were originally written in German and later translated into English. One example is Riedemann's Confession of faith which was written in prison during 1540-42 for the Lutheran ruler, Philip of Hesse. He explains his goal of a renewed community and dispels popular misconceptions. His dynamic vision of radical and communal discipleship still challenges believers toward a greater faithfulness to the Lord and to each other. Riedemann creatively weaves together a fresh reading of the Bible with the classical creeds. He produces a powerful synthesis of Scripture and tradition on which to base Christian community. His dynamic vision of radical and communal discipleship still challenges believers toward greater faithfulness to the Lord and to each other. Riedemann's Confession gives theological grounding for the Hutterite understanding of economic communalism and offers practical examples. It still guides Hutterite communities. Also included in both German and English are the Chronicles of the Hutterian Brethren, which documents Hutterite life in Austria and Moravia from 1528 to 1665 and provides a wealth of economic, social and cultural detail from the standpoint of an oppressed and severely persecuted minority. This is just the beginning of what ichGlaub has to offer. Books like Hutterite Co's in WWI, Stories of the Hutterites, Over the Mountains, Hutterite Epistles, and Hutterische Artikelbuch, are bound to keep you reading through many a cold winter evening.
