How the Martyr's Mirror Helped Save Me: A Response to Krehbiel and Goering
2007
In a letter describing the persecution of the Swiss Brethren from 1635-1645, an Anabaptist writer notes that "we are not bitter as we write these facts. We wish only that our descendants will not forget our suffering." Will we who no longer languish at the suffering margins of the world order remember our ancestors who suffered? Will our daily lives, social practices, and professional habits reflect the concern of our ancestors that we remember those who suffer? In my view, reading and discussing the Martyrs Mirror is one way to remember who we are without bitterness, to see the world from the perspective of those who suffer anywhere, and to live in the hope of the resurrection.
