The majority of Amish and conservative Mennonites are certain concerning church and lifestyle practices, but are content to avoid diving into most deep, biblical topics. That biblical context makes this an informative resource for those who wish to know more about the plain people and a helpful book for Anabaptists who wish to better understand what they themselves are being taught and believe. In addition, each section includes a closer look at what the Bible teaches about each topic. This study defines:•Who is God the Father?•Who is Jesus Christ?•Who is the Holy Spirit?•What is the Bible?•What and Who is the Church?•What are Angels, Demons, and Satan?•What is Humanity and Who are Men and Women?•What Happens at the End?. That lack made compiling this book a bit of a challenge, so we drew heavily from The Dordrecht Confession of Faith and information provided by Anabaptist scholars of today
