Reviews

'Good general accounts of Anabaptism are rare in English, and this English edition, based on a 1988 revision and incorporating some material on English Anabaptists and a new chapter on the 'ordinary' Anabaptist, is most welcome... this is a valuable and provocative book.' : Theological Studies Vol 48 No. 2 Oct 97
