How did the religious, social, and political upheaval in 16th century Europe catalyze and shape the beginning of the Anabaptist movement? And what ideas define Anabaptism? Join us for this engaging conversation with Anabaptist historian Marcus Yoder as he takes us on a tour through pre-Anabaptism, the Peasant's War, and the Anabaptist takeover of Münster, on to the core beliefs that united the early Anabaptist movement.
