"Ein Fundament und Klare Anweisung von der Seligmachenden Lehre unsers Herrn Jesu Christi" is a significant theological work by Menno Simons, a leading figure in the Anabaptist movement of the 16th century. Originally written in Dutch and later translated into High German, the book offers a clear and concise exposition of Christian doctrine as understood by the early Anabaptists. It emphasizes the teachings of Jesus Christ as the pathway to salvation, grounding its arguments firmly in biblical scripture. The work also includes several other instructive writings by Simons, which were previously published separately, but are here compiled to serve as a comprehensive handbook of faith. This collection was highly influential in shaping the beliefs of Mennonite communities, advocating for nonviolence, adult baptism, and a separation from worldly affairs. Through this book, Simons provided a theological foundation for his followers, helping to distinguish the Anabaptists from other Reformation-era groups.
