Torchbearers Amid Alpine Snows - The Story of the Waldensians by C C Dobson and published by Classics.
The Waldensians, who could trace their historical roots to Valdes in 1174, developed an ancient origins thesis after their union with the Protestant Reformation in the sixteenth century. The competing churches of the Reformation believed that the Waldensians were “destined to fulfill a most important mission in the Evangelization of Italy” and that they could demonstrate, through Waldensian history and practices, that their own claims and doctrines were the same as those taught by the primitive church.
This book recalls their faithfulness in the face of opposition and persecution, a heroic story of a group of believers stand for truth and freedom.
