Anabaptism In Outline - Selected Primary Sources

Originally published: Kitchener, Ont.; Scottdale, Pa.: Herald Press, 1981.

Summary

This anthology provides the best introduction to the core beliefs and foundational principles of Anabaptism.

This comprehensive book compiles the writings and statements of thirty-seven sixteenth-century Anabaptists. Selections are arranged under topics such as baptism, the church, nonresistance, Jesus the Word, government, the cross, suffering, discipleship, and relations to other Christians.

This is the third volume in the Classics of the Radical Reformation, a series of Anabaptist and Free Church documents translated and annotated under the direction of the Institute of Mennonite Studies.

Foreword

This anthology provides the best introduction to the core beliefs and foundational principles of Anabaptism.

Additional text

There are still relatively few sixteenth-century Anabaptist materials available in the English language, though their number is increasing. This book will facilitate specific theological study of issues which might be impossible for the uninitiated reader.--C. J. Dyck, Classics of the Radical Reformation series editor
