During the sixteenth century's tumultuous years of religious reformation and revolution, Pilgram Marpeck consistently but discreetly stood up to the ruling powers, calling for freedom of religion and separation of church and state. Coming from a background of wealth and education, he engaged in the major theological struggles of the Anabaptists for an identity that was built on the Bible and had meaning for the world. This book includes Marpeck's Confession of 1532 and The Admonition of 1542, the longest and most detailed statement of the Anabaptists on baptism and the Lord's Supper. Also included are sixteen of his letters and the preface to his Explanation of the Testaments. This is the second volume in the Classics of the Radical Reformation, a series of Anabaptist and Free Church documents translated and annotated under the direction of the Institute of Mennonite Studies. 612 Pages.

Anabaptism: Neither Catholic nor Protestant

Conrad Press

Walter Klaassen shows how Anabaptists combined elements of Protestantism and Catholicism into a third option which, he argues, has continuing relevance for the present. This is especially true in the areas of lay witness, peace and war, economics, and relationships with the state. Klaassen's hope that increasing numbers of Protestants and Catholics would enter into dialogue with the Anabaptist tradition has in fact been realized. Today, Anabaptism is accepted as part of the common heritage of all Christians.

Pilgram Marpeck (ca. 1495-1556) was a dedicated Anabaptist leader who was also a talented civil engineer. Marpeck possessed a keen intelligence and a passion for spiritual and biblical theology. He was one of the most original and eclectic Anabaptist thinkers. On larger projects he wrote collaboratively, with a circle of like-minded Anabaptists. Consequently, authorship of some writings has to be ascribed not only to Marpeck, but to the "Marpeck Circle". Shortly after 1600, however, his writings and his "Circle" seemingly disappeared. No distinct Marpeckite Anabaptist community survived the 17th century. This volume of writings by Pilgram Marpeck and his Circle is the first of a planned set of three, all making available previously untranslated writings.
