I Appeal to Scripture

The second volume in the Cross Bearers Series, I Appeal to Scripture is a well-researched, accessible biography of Michael Sattler, one of most influential leaders in the first years of the Anabaptist movement. Numerous quotations from primary sources provide historical veracity, while extensive sidebars and illustrations introduce readers to the cultural context of this story. This biography provides a compelling introduction to a hero of faith. The final third of the book is a collection of Sattler’s writings.

The Cross Bearers Series tells the stories of heroes of the faith from various eras and churches. These stories are told with an emphasis on historical accuracy with a minimum of fictionalization. The goal of this series is to present us with heroes whose lives stir us to greater faithfulness to Christ.
