- Title
August G. A. Liebig: German Baptist Missionary and Friend to the Mennonite Brethren.
- Authors
Wardin Jr., Albert W.
- Abstract
The article profiles missionary and pastor August Gustav Alexander Liebig, who worked intimately with German Baptists and Mennonite Brethren in numerous countries. The author attests that Liebig’s legacy has been largely forgotten, save what has been chronicled of his life by a few Mennonite Brethren historians. Originally trained as a locksmith or mechanic, Liebig came to represent a number of congregations, convert many followers, and baptize many believers. It is urged that he is a foundational member of the evangelical faith in Eastern Europe.
