Anabaptism, Radicalism, and the Reformation: Collected Essays (Anabaptist and Mennonite Studies (New Series)) - Softcover
Synopsis
James Stayer is widely recognized as an important contributor to the revision in the study of Anabaptism and the Radical Reformation which began in the 1970s and to which scholars continue to respond half a century later. On the surface, this revision looks like a straightforward secular challenge – tinged with a strong element of social history – to the primarily historical-theological approach of the confessionally oriented scholars who had dominated the field in decades past. However, as the essays collected in Anabaptism, Radicalism, and the Reformation reveal, the original revision was much more nuanced than that and it remained open to correction on the basis of new evidence. Included here are republications of some of Stayer’s seminal articles and book chapters, some important elements of his scholarship that were originally published in less accessible places, and previously unpublished essays, presentations, and reflections. Their subject matter ranges from Anabaptism and the Radical Reformation to the popular and magisterial Reformations and from methodology to historiography.
