Download or read book The Anabaptists written by Hans-Jurgen Goertz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Anabaptists were at the radical, utopian edge of the Reformation, ruthlessly repressed by Catholic, Lutheran and secular authorities alike. Hans-Jurgen Goertz gives a comprehensive account of their political and religious significance, their views, and their social setting within the wider context of the Reformation. Particular attention is paid to the role and experience of women and of 'ordinary' Anabaptists in addition to those of the educated elite.

This English edition includes a new introduction which considers the historiographical context of the book. The opening chapter has also been expanded to include a section on the emergence of Anabaptism in England. The Anabaptists has been fully revised since its publication in German, and takes account of the most recent historiography on the subject. It also includes a selection of primary sources together with a full listing of important Anabaptist works.

Download or read book Calvin and the Anabaptist Radicals written by Willem Balke and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 1999-10-13 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book has many fine features..... Dr. Balke has done thorough research on his subject and presented its results in an excellent combination of chronological review and systematic analysis. The principal significance of this book, however, is that it vindicates and in a sense rehabilitates John Calvin over against the Anabaptists, and does so without perpetuating the unfair criticism of the Anabaptists which was prevalent for a long time. The treatment is fair, balanced, and firm, and of genuine historical value. John H. Kromminga, President, Calvin Theological Seminary

Download or read book A Contemporary Anabaptist Theology written by Thomas N. Finger and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2010-02-26 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this comprehensive volume Thomas N. Finger takes on the formidable task of making explicit the often implicit theology of the Anabaptist movement and then presenting, for the sake of the welfare of the whole contemporary Christian church, his own constructive theology. In the first part Finger tells the story of the development of Anabaptist thought, helping the reader grasp both the unifying and diverse elements in that theological tradition. In the second and third parts Finger considers in more detail the major themes essential to Anabaptist theology, first considering the historic views and then presenting his own constructive effort. Within the Anabaptist perspective Finger offers a theology that highlights the three dimensions of its salvific center: the communal, the personal and the missional. The themes taken up in the final part form what Finger identifies as the convictional framework of that center; namely, Christology, anthropology and eschatology. This book is a landmark contribution of Anabaptist theology for the whole church in biblical, historical and contemporary context.
Download or read book Power Authority and the Anabaptist Tradition written by Benjamin W. Redekop and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2003-04-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Founded in part on a rejection of "worldly" power and the use of force, Anabaptism carried with it the promise of redemptive power. Yet the attempt to banish worldly power to the margins of the Christian community has been fraught with dilemmas, contradictions, and, at times, blatant abuses of authority. In this groundbreaking book, Benjamin W. Redekop, Calvin W. Redekop, and their coauthors draw on classic and contemporary thinking to confront the issue of power and authority in the Anabaptist-Mennonite community. From the power relationships of the sixteenth-century Peasants' War to issues of contemporary sexuality, the topics of Power, Authority, and the Anabaptist Tradition are sure to interest a wide audience.

Download or read book German Peasants War and Anabaptist Community of Goods written by James M. Stayer and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1991-04-01 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 1520s persecution drove many Anabaptists to Moravia where, throughout the sixteenth century, they continued the commoners' resistance to privilege in church and state. Stayer argues that in Münster, however, where there had been no Peasants' War and where urban notables were prominent in the Anabaptist leadership, Anabaptist communism was badly corrupted. The historical continuities which Stayer establishes between the Peasants' War and Anabaptism in Switzerland, south Germany, and Moravia can in part explain this contrast.
Download or read book T T Clark Handbook of Anabaptism written by Brian C. Brewer and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-12-30 with total page 649 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By utilizing the contributions of a variety of scholars – theologians, historians, and biblical scholars – this book makes the complex and sometimes disparate Anabaptist movement more easily accessible. It does this by outlining Anabaptism's early history during the Reformation of the sixteenth century, its varied and distinctive theological convictions, and its ongoing challenges to and influence on contemporary Christianity. T&T Clark Handbook of Anabaptism comprises four sections: 1) Origins, 2) Doctrine, 3) Influences on Anabaptism, and 4) Contemporary Anabaptism and Relationship to Others. The volume concludes with a chapter on how contemporary Anabaptists interact with the wider Church in all its variety. While some of the authorities within the volume will disagree even with one another regarding Anabaptist origins, emphases on doctrine, and influence in the contemporary world, such differences represent the diversity that constitutes the history of this movement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four hundred seventy years ago the Anabaptist movement was launched with the inauguration of believer's baptism and the formation of the first congregation of the Swiss Brethren in Zurich, Switzerland. This standard introduction to the history of Anabaptism by noted church historian William R. Estep offers a vivid chronicle of the rise and spread of teachings and heritage of this important stream in Christianity. This third edition of The Anabaptist Story has been substantially revised and enlarged to take into account the numerous Anabaptist sources that have come to light in the last half-century as well as the significant number of monographs and other scholarly works on Anabaptist themes that have recently appeared. Estep challenges a number of assumptions held by contemporary historians and offers fresh insights into the Anabaptist movement.
Download or read book Un temps une ville R forme written by Marc Lienhard and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-28 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Lienhard deals here primarily with the first half of the 16th century, a momentous period which saw the rise and first triumphs of evangelical Christianity. His focus is upon the town of Strasbourg, one of the places where the Reformation first left its mark, and the articles combine to present an illuminating picture of the town's social and religious evolution over the period. Some approach the subject at an individual level, with studies of the protagonists in the events - such as Martin Bucer, Matthieu Zell or Thomas Murner - and their differing religious viewpoints. Other articles take a broader perspective, analysing the social and political background to the triumph of the Reform, the gradual emergence of a new order, and local attitudes towards the new dissidents, the Anabaptists. An important section of additional notes and comments completes the volume. Le Professeur Lienhard s’attache ici, avant tout, à la premiere motié du XVIe siècles, période capitale, qui vit la montée et les premiers triomphes du christianisme évangélique. Il se concentre sur Strasbourg, un des lieux où la Réforme laissa très tôt sa marque. L’ensemble des articles présente une image clarifante de l’évolution sociale et religieuse de la ville durant cette période. Certains abordent le sujet au travers de l’étude de plusiers des protagonistes aillant pris part aux événements - tels que Martin Bucer, Matthieu Zell ou Thomas Murner - et examinent aussi leurs différents points de vue religieux. D’autres prennent une perspective plus large, analysant le contexte politique et social à la base de triomphe de la Réforme et de la naissance d’un ordre nouveau, ainsi que les prises de position locales envers les nouveaux dissidents, les Anabaptistes. Dès a present, ce recueil est accompagné d’une importante section de notes adittionnelles et de commentaires.
