Today, we bring you an interview with Bethel College professor Dr. Mark Janzen, who studies the little known history of Mennonites who lived in Prussia from the 1530s to the late 1700s. 

In this episode, we learn that Mennonites lived in mixed villages instead of colonies, like they later did, how they acquired land in the vast region of Prussia, and the political complexities of living under a system with several power centres.
