Radical Christianity: The Believers Church Tradition in Christianity's History and Future
Description:
Histories of the Protestant Reformation focus on the protest movements of Luther, Calvin, or Zwingli. But another important Protestant group emerged at the same time. Historians refer to it as the Anabaptist movement, the Believers Church movement, or the Radical Reformation. While these radical Christians continue to exert an important influence on Western Christianity, they have often been overlooked. Dr. Callen's appraisal of the Believers Church brings this important movement into view. He explains why the Believers Church continues to be a vital force within Christianity. He compares the beliefs of the Believers Church with other branches of Protestantism and proposes an agenda for future dialogue between proponents of this "radical" form of Christianity and their cousins in the mainstream.
