The Brothers Path

Martha Kennedy

4.9/5 (13329 ratings)

Description:The world-shattering tumult of the Protestant Reformation enters the Schneebeli household when Rudolf Schneebeli is born two months early and dies a few minutes later without being baptized. Named for the well trodden track linking the Schneebeli farmhouse to the old Lunkhofen castle, The Brothers Path is set in a Swiss village near Zürich, between 1524 and 1531. It chronicles the lives of the six Schneebeli brothers, Heinrich, Hannes, Peter, Conrad, Thomann and Andreas. Each brother navigates his own path through, around or directly into the deadly drama of the Protestant reformation, seven years when a person's life could depend on his or her religious beliefs. Two hundred years after the events recounted in The Brothers’ Path, thousands of immigrants, mostly Mennonites and Amish, left Switzerland for America looking for safety and freedom they could not find at home. If the novel teaches a “lesson” it would be a reminder why immigrants to America were adamant about separating church and state.It's a topic that many of us today don't think about, living, as we do, in a world that is the result of many of the changes that began in the Reformation. It's difficult to imagine people being as interested in religion as many of these people were, but, unfortunately, we still live in a world in which people are willing to kill those who believe differently or die the death of martyrs for their own beliefs. Still, if religion does not interest you, this is not your book.The Brothers Path is available from online booksellers, Mastof Books in Morgantown PA, and Narrow Gauge Newsstand in Alamosa, COWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
