Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the intriguing history of Anabaptists in Switzerland over two centuries, from the 16th to the 18th century. Following the radical Reformation, Anabaptists emerged as a distinct religious group, facing relentless persecution due to their pacifist beliefs and rejection of infant baptism. The author explores the motivations, beliefs, and experiences of the Anabaptists, shedding light on their struggle for religious freedom. Drawing from a wealth of historical documents, the book delves into the theological disputes, political machinations, and societal attitudes that shaped their fate. The book also examines the role of international diplomacy and the intervention of Protestant leaders in mitigating the persecution of Swiss Anabaptists. The author argues that despite their severe treatment, the Anabaptists' commitment to non-violence and their resilience in the face of adversity left a lasting impact on Swiss society and the development of religious tolerance.
