This book presents six ground-breaking master's degree dissertations in the area of Baptist and Anabaptist Studies through the International Baptist Theological Seminary (IBTS), Prague. The focus is continental Europe, with a particular emphasis on Eastern Europe. The material is largely culled from primary sources. The topics covered include the theology of Baptist believers in Bulgaria, 1920-1939, the Pentecostal dilemma in the Finnish Baptist Union, 1930-1953, Moldovan Baptists, 1940-1965, the state and the Baptist churches in the USSR, 1960-1980, Baptist mission efforts in Bosnia-Herzegovina and the life and convictions of Hans Meier (1902-1992).
