He explains the Hutterite goal of a renewed community and dispels popular misconceptions. The Hutterites quickly accept the Confession as their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRiedemann creatively weaves together a fresh reading of the Bible with the classical creeds. He produces a powerful synthesis of Scripture and tradition on which to base Christian community. His dynamic vision of radical and communal discipleship still challenges believers toward greater faithfulness to the Lord and to each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRiedemann's \u003ci\u003eConfession\u003c\/i\u003e gives theological grounding for the Hutterite understanding of economic communalism and offers practical examples of it.
