"In Albert Keim's captivating study of Bender, I gained much insight into this fascinating, complex person who was one of the commanding figures among Mennonites in this century--in fact, in our entire American experience. This is a book I could not put aside".--Robert Kreider, former director of Mennonite Library and Archives.

The Anabaptist Vision
The Anabaptist Vision, given as a presidential address before the American Society of Church History in 1943, has become a classic essay. In it, Harold S. Bender defines the spirit and purposes of the original Anabaptists.
