The Anabaptist Story
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.
Auf zu neuen Ufern!
Prof. Dr. Walter Fellmann, Ordinarius für Schweizerisches und Europäisches Privatrecht an der Universität Luzern und Rechtsanwalt bei der SwissLegal Fellmann Rechtsanwälte AG, hat im Dezember 2020 seinen 65. Geburtstag gefeiert. Aus diesem Anlass haben zwei langjährige Weggefährten von Walter Fellmann, Prof. Dr. Karin Müller und Prof. Dr. Jörg Schwarz, eine Festschrift herausgegeben. In "Auf zu neuen Ufern!" haben 44 namhafte Autoren aus Wissenschaft und Praxis 35 Beiträge zu Ehren von Walter Fellmann verfasst. Die Themen der Beiträge sind – entsprechend dem weiten Spektrum der Forschungsgebiete und dem grossen Wirkungsbereich von Walter Fellmann – breit angelegt. Neben Beiträgen zum Haftpflicht- und Versicherungsrecht sowie zum Vertragsrecht, finden sich Beiträge zum Erb- und Sachenrecht, zum Gesellschaftsrecht, zum Verfahrensrecht und auch zum Anwaltsrecht sowie Arzt- und Medizinrecht. In diesem Sinn ist die Festschrift eine Fundgrube spannender Beiträge rund um das Wirken von Walter Fellmann.
Houses on the Sand?
"Under Hitler, Germany's state-linked provincial churches functioned as seedbeds of nationalism. A smaller and independent church form - the "free church" or denomination - offered greater promise of nonconformity. Linked by pacifist traditions, German Mennonites, Seventh-day Adventists, and Quakers promoted a range of liberal principles: empowerment of the individual conscience, respect for confessional diversity, and separation of church and state. Nonetheless, two of these denominations used these same principles to defend and even embrace the Nazi regime. This book examines what makes Christian communities - when meeting the harsh challenges of modernity - viable entities of faith or hollow forms."--BOOK JACKET.
The Concept of Grace in the Radical Reformation
A major new contribution towards the history and theology of the Radical Reformation. "... the study represents a break-through in Anabaptist research" (From the Foreword by George H. Williams)
The Spiritual Legacy of Hans Denck
This book conveys the life and thought of Hans Denck (1500-1527), the contemplative genius of the Anabaptist movement, and examines the inner dynamics of his spirituality: its medieval context, its mystic content, and its Jewish roots. The author translates into English Denck's theological treatises, the original German of which is reprinted on facing pages. These texts convey with unmatched brilliance rare depths of insight on many aspects of faith and life, good and evil, truth and love directly relevant for our own quest of the Way.

Lutheran Reformers Against Anabaptists
Until well into the nineteenth century scholars have repeated a tra ditional view of Anabaptism when they turn to Reformation history. They have regarded the Zwickau Prophets and Thomas Miintzer as the instigators of the movement. The radical disturbance caused by the Prophets and Miintzer in Wittenberg and the Saxon lands spread to Switzerland, there to plague Zwingli and his following. In both regions a radical spiritualism was the dominating element of the movement. Anabaptism reached its peak of development in the forceful establish ment of the Kingdom of Miinster. Most historians have devoted the major part of their discourse on Anabaptism to this model of fanati cism. After the rebelli...
