Christ Is Full of Love and Power: The Background, Life, and Legacy of Christian Burkholder 1746-1809
An illustrated and narrative history of Mennonite bishop Christian Burkholder of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania (1746-1809). Includes translations of his German writings and a genealogical section giving ancestries back to the 1500s in Switzerland.
This is a definitive, illustrated, and narrative history of the first resident Mennonite bishop in northern Lancaster Co., Pa. Christian Burkholder’s life and legacy has left an indelible mark on the Mennonite Church and his descendants. His writings are presented with a fresh translation of the German. Though much more than a family history book, it ends with a genealogical section, giving both maternal and paternal ancestries back to the 1500s in Switzerland, and forward with the first three generations of descendants in America.
