Mennonites in the World War (Non-Resistance Under Test) is a historical work by Jonas Smucker Hartzler, American Mennonite minister and teacher. The Mennonites are members of certain Christian groups belonging to the church communities of Anabaptist denominations named after Menno Simons (1496-1561) of Friesland. The author initially provides an insight in the early history of the Mennonite Church and their involvement in other wars, previous to the WWI. The rest of the work covers various issues Mennonites had to deal with during the Great War, starting with non-resistant nature of their doctrine.
