The publishers, Evangelisches Verlagswerk, Stuttgart, generously allowed the English edition to be published by the Brethren Press...After three printings, it was allowed to go out of print, to be succeeded by ['Church of the brethren: yesterday and today' (1981)]"--preface, 'Church of the brethren: yesterday and today' (1981)
