Balthasar Hubmaier's Doctrine of the Church

This book is written as a resource for scholars and students of Anabaptism and Hubmaier studies. Balthasar Hubmaier understood the church to be a visible assembly of regenerated baptized saints, who both memorized Christ's suffering on the cross in the ordinance of the Lord's Supper, and who participated in that suffering as a church under the cross. Hubmaier's doctrine of the church seems to have many parallels both in medieval and sixteenth-century Anabaptist ecclesiology; but it cannot be solidly placed in either category. Contents: Preface; Acknowledgements; Introduction; Balthasar Hubmaier: The Man and His Theological Development; Hubmaier's Doctrine of the Church; Hubmaier's Doctrine of Regeneration and Salvation; Hubmaier's Doctrine of Baptism; Hubmaier's Doctrine of the Lord's Supper; Hubmaier's Doctrine of the Role of the Church in the World; Conclusion; Bibliography; Index.

Summary

This resource is designed for scholars and students of Anabaptism and Hubmaier studies. Hubmaier's doctrine of the church seems to have many parallels both in medieval and 16th-century Anabaptist ecclesiology, but cannot be firmly placed in either category.
