Becoming Anabaptist: The Origin and Significance of Sixteenth-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, he writes in measured, scholarly, orderly fashion. With Denny Weaver as your guide, I am sure that you will find it a great joy to walk through the adventure called Anabaptism."—William H.
