GOSHEN, Ind.—The April issue of Mennonite Historical Bulletin, published by the Mennonite Church USA Historical Committee, has compiled “The Essential Anabaptist/Mennonite History Reading List.”
The 31 titles on the list include general Mennonite histories as well as volumes on women, African-Americans, Hispanics and the international church. The list also includes reference books, such as the five-volume Mennonite Encyclopedia. It was compiled with input from about 40 professors, teachers, writers, librarians, archivists and others in the field of Mennonite history.
The oldest book on the list is The Martyrs Mirror, first printed in 1660, while the newest are Stories: How Mennonites Came to Be by John D. Roth and Testing Faith and Tradition, the Europe volume in the “Global Mennonite History Series,” both of which were published two years ago.—Mennonite Church USA
