Writings compiled in the sixteenth century provide a glimpse into
the spiritual life of one fellowship during the Radical
Reformation. Scholars have been fascinated by Pilgram Marpeck and
his circle since the rediscovery of the long-lost legacy of their
writings, and that interest has not abated. This volume offers
another part of that legacy to English-speaking readers, not only
scholars but also inquiring general readers who might find
theological insight and spiritual depth in the diverse writings
that make up this anthology. The didactic poems, passionate
meditations, pastoral letters, and confessions in the Kunstbuch
open a door into an intimate community. Maler’s collection is
like an album of photographs taken over a period of thirty years,
documenting the life of a family and its friends. In rare detail it
records the existence of one kind of Anabaptism, preserving for
posterity the personalities and issues, the brilliance and the
tragedy that made it what it was. The writing and compiling of the
Kunstbuch arose from impassioned attempts to be the body of Christ
faithfully and to trust God utterly in the midst of terrifying
insecurity. In their faithfulness and trust, Marpeck’s people are
a cloud of witnesses who have a claim on us today. This is the
twelfth volume in the Classics of the Radical Reformation, a series
of Anabaptist and Free Church documents translated and annotated
under the direction of the Institute of Mennonite Studies.
