Vedder, Henry Clay. Balthasar Hubmaier. **$1.35. Putnam.
The latest addition to the “Heroes of the reformation” series gives the history of Hübmaier’s life, his devotion to the Anabaptist cause, his doctrines, and his martyr death. The material has been gathered from Hübmaier’s own writings and a German life by Dr. Johann Loserth.
“Dr. Vedder’s treatment in the book under review is sympathetic, but with conscientious regard for the facts, which are stated with clearness, candor, and accuracy.” Albert J. Ramaker.
