During this tumultuous period the Brethren in Christ joined other pacifists in opposing participation in the mobilizations. Like the Amish, Mennonites, and Church of the Brethren--other groups descended from sixteenth-century European Anabaptists--the Brethren in Christ held nonresistant pacifism as a fundamental aspect of their identity. They carried out their peace witness, however, not as an isolated community but as one integrated economically, technologically, and culturally into American society.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePeace and Persistence\u003c\/em\u003e presents a wealth of material about this small, little-know religious group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Heisey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0873387562\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780873387569\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kent State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.34w x 0.98d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2004 pg. 2061","brand":"Heisey","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":50844499181823,"sku":"9780873387569","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/peace-and-persistence-heisey-9780873387569","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
