Hardback. Etat : Good. For the first time, all the writings of Alexander Mack Sr., the founder of the Brethren movement in Germany in 1708, are available in a single publication. These include the two largest books, Basic Questions (1715) and Rights and Ordinances (1715), which are well known and have been reprinted, but they have not been available for many years. Also included are a short tract or letter issued by the Brethren in 1708 and Mack's letter to Count Charles August in 1711. Two translations of Mack's hymn, Count the Cost (13 verses), are included, as well as a modem musical setting of the hymn.

An ex-library copy with small rubber stamp on title page & bottom of text block and a library pocket on rear pastedown. The Brethren church tradition traces its roots back over 300 years to 1708. Eighteenth-century Europe was a time of strong governmental control of the church and low tolerance for religious diversity. Religious persecution drove the Brethren to take refuge in Surhuisterveen, Friesland, in the Netherlands. They settled among the Mennonites and remained there until 1729. Eventually all but a handful emigrated to America. The first congregation in the New World was organized at Germantown, Pa., in 1723. Soon after its formation, the Germantown congregation sent missionaries to rural areas around Philadelphia. These missionaries preached, baptized, and started new congregations. In 1781 these Brethren adopted the title "German Baptist Brethren" at their Annual Meeting; in 1782 they forbade slaveholding by members. The group continued to expand and from Pennsylvania, they migrated chiefly westward. By 1908 they were most numerous in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas and North Dakota.
