Becoming Anabaptist: The Origin and Significance of 16th-Century Anabaptism

When Becoming Anabaptist appeared in 1987 it was the first major study to incorporate the new history of multiple beginnings and a diverse Anabaptism into a synthesis of meanings for the late 20th century. J. Denny Weaver’s attempt was welcomed and widely acclaimed by scholars and by church leaders alike. In this second edition Weaver provides a “masterful treatment of his beloved Anabaptist vision” (William Willimon in the Foreword).
