Radical Reformation Studies cover

This review brings together new research in three areas of Anabaptist studies and the Radical Reformation. Part One focuses on sixteenth-century Anabaptism, re-examining the ’polygenesis model’ of Anabaptism articulated by Stayer, Packull and Depperman. Part Two deals with the connections between Anabaptists and other Reformation dissenters, their marginalisation as social groups and their relations with the intellectual movements of the age. The final section addresses historiographic and comparative issues of writing the history of marginalised groups, investigating some preconceptions which influence historians’ approaches to Anabaptism and their implications for understanding other religious groups.

'... (an) impressive collection of essays... Some readers will want to dip into this book. Libraries should buy it!' Anabaptism Today 'This volume of essays dedicated to Stayer represents some of the best recent attempts to continue his agenda of expanding and deepening our notion of Anabaptism and its place within the spectrum of Radical Reformation thought.'
