most recent edition of the confession can be found in John H. Yoder, The Legacy of Michael Sattler (Scottdale, Pennsylvania: Herald Press, 1973). 198 The Great Trek of the Russian Mennonites 18. A stimulating and perceptive essay on this topic is by Robert Friedmann, “The Doctrine of the Two Worlds,” in The Recovery of the Anabaptist Vision, ed. by Guy F. Hershberger (Scottdale: Herald Press, 1957), pp. 105-118. Friedmann contrasts Ana- baptist “‘kingdom theology” derived from the Gospels, the dualism of God’s kingdom and Satan’s kingdom, with the Reformers’ ‘‘salvation theology,’ derived from the Pauline epistles, and emphasizes a dualism of spirit and flesh. 19.
