A Course of Study in the Life and Teachings of Caspar Schwenkfeld von Ossig (1489-1561) and the History of the Schwenckfelder Religious Movement (1518-1964)

This Course of Study in the Life and Teachings of Caspar Schwenckfeld von Ossig and the History of the Schwenckfelder Religious Movement was composed in answer to the request of the Social Action Committee of The General Conference of The Schwenckfelder Church, May 1952. No one can go unimpressed from a study of his teachings which are based entirely on the Bible and on the writings of the early Christian fathers of the church. The biography of Schwenckfeld has been arranged in summarized from for convenient use in this course in presenting the story of the life and the religion of a man who gave to the world a unique interpretation of the religion of Jesus and who practiced and followed it as but few of this world's great men have done. - Foreword.
