Part of a major doctrinal tract of the Hutterites of the sixteenth century, this early Anabaptist document gives Biblical references for Christian nonviolence.

Concerning the Sword is the fourth article of the Article Book, a major doctrinal document of the Hutterites of the sixteenth century. Its author is not named but was probably the Hutterian bishop Peter Walpot (1521-1578). The book deals with the following five articles: (1) Concerning true baptism (and how infant baptism contradicts it); (2) Concerning the Lord's Supper (and how the sacrament of the priests is against it); (3) Concerning the true surrender (Gelassenheit) and Christian community of goods; (4) That Christians should not go to war nor should they use sword or violence nor secular litigation; (5) Concerning divorce between believers and unbelievers.

The book is not a theological treatise, but rather, like all Anabaptist doctrinal writings, a collection of biblical texts topically arranged to prove the position of the church with regard to the question at issue. The title of the larger edition, A Beautiful and Pleasant Little Book Concerning the Main Articles of our Faith, is quite colorless; more to the point is the title used in the Chronicle of the Hutterian Brethren: The Five Articles of the Greatest Conflict Between Us and the World. It does not pretend to contain a complete system of Anabaptist thought but only a collection of those points and their arguments that distinguish the Brethren from the "world" and justify their particular stand. The Article Book must have been widely known in its time. Catholics as well as Lutheran polemics against it are known.

Puppy loves it but the battery is awful
Color: Blue
Our puppy loves playing with this ball, it does what it says and keeps her occupied for the entire 10-15 minutes the battery lasts. I have to charge it several times a day, though the light never flashes red when the battery is low, it just doesn't work anymore. It also makes a beeping sound when she's playing with it that is super annoying, which sucks because the ball itself isn't super noisy even in the hardwood floors. I wouldn't purchase this again, and we'll probably have to toss it out within a week or two, I really don't see this thing lasting very long. Without the movement, it isn't a ball we would let her play with because she is a strong chewer and the material doesn't seem chew proof at all. I'm only giving it 2 stars because she really does love playing with it, but the battery life and beeping sound are atrocious.

If your dog chews threw every tennis ball and toy, chuckit rubber fetch balls are the only one! Our dog LOVES it, he digs it out and has to have several so that there are a few outside and a couple inside because he chews them when he's bored inside and chases them outside! You dog will love it. It's a great value, especially if you watch for sales. It's our go to fog toy!!

Dogs Favorite Ball

Great fetch ball! Super durable rubber that holds up way better than a regular tennis ball and has an awesome bounce. Easy for dogs to spot and perfect for endless games of fetch. Doesn’t get soggy or fall apart — definitely a must-have for active dogs!
