What is the church when it no longer has power, protection, or privilege?
Anabaptist Ecclesiology Model answers this question by grounding the doctrine of the church in the lived witness of the Anabaptist martyrs recorded in Martyrs Mirror. Instead of defining the church by institutional structure, sacramental control, or denominational systems, this volume shows how the true church is revealed through obedient community under persecution.
Using a TMQ (Target · Meet · Qualify) framework, the book traces how the martyrs understood the church as a visible covenant people, gathered voluntarily under Christ’s authority, practicing discipline without coercion, worship without ritualism, and mission without violence. Their church was not theoretical—it was embodied, tested, and authenticated by suffering.
This work presents a unified ecclesiological model in which:
Christ alone is the head
Leadership is servant-based
Discipline is restorative
Worship is lived obedience
Membership is voluntary
Mission is witness, not conquest
Written for theologians, pastors, historians, and serious Anabaptist readers, Anabaptist Ecclesiology Model restores the doctrine of the church to its original form: a faithful community shaped by truth rather than power.
