A straightforward introduction to Anabaptism that also explains why Christians, adjusting to the realities of post-Christendom, are turning to the Anabaptist tradition for resources.

Why are Christians from many traditions discovering Anabaptism? What are they finding inspirational and challenging in the Anabaptist vision? How can this 500–year–old ‘voice from the margins’ speak to followers of Jesus today?

The Naked Anabaptist is a straightforward introduction to Anabaptism. Written out of the British and Irish context, it explains why Christians here, and in other nations adjusting to the realities of post-Christendom, are turning to the Anabaptist tradition for resources.

Community, hospitality, peace, simplicity and Jesus centred discipleship are some of the themes that many have found most liberating in the Anabaptist vision. But this tradition has its critics and Anabaptism has weaknesses as well as strengths.

The Naked Anabaptist offers a frank and unadorned account, uncovering its blemishes as well as highlighting its attractions.
