They refused very vigorously the unbiblical holidays of the Romish church, including Easter and Christmas. They u ...

QUESTION: "We have been reading 'Is All Animal Flesh Good Food?' with much interest. We live in the country and have our own garden and meat for the table but need to know if liver, heart, tongue and kidneys are edible meats. We are certain it is in the Bible but are unable to find it." ...

This is a very SPECIAL letter about you, personally. There is one point on which some of our Co-Workers may not be clear. As you know, this great WORK OF GOD is non-denominational. We are not a sect or denomination in the generally accepted sense. Nor are we backed or sponsored by any, or connected ...

But a new war breaks out in 1551. It wears on for four years. In September 1555, the Peace of Augsburg ends the hostilities. This compromise officially sanctions the Lutheran faith in the Empire. Now, the two opposing Christian religious communities can lawfully live together within the Holy Roman E ...

The two decades of anarchy known as the "Great Interregnum" (l254-1273) leave Germany in political ruins. It is the "terrible time without an emperor"- or as the Germans word it, die kaiserlose, schreckliche Zeit. A new period of German history begins when the German princes asse ...
