The Rise of the Radical Reformation
Church HistorySteve Gregg
In this presentation, Steve Gregg discusses the rise of the Radical Reformation, which saw individuals such as Zwingli and Anabaptist disciples going back to the Bible as the sole basis of authority in the church. While Luther and other reformers also held the doctrine of sola scriptura, they took a different approach to its implementation. The Anabaptist movement became known for its rejection of infant baptism and emphasis on congregational-style government, as well as its practice of shunning and opposition to war. Despite being persecuted, this movement survived and gave rise to various groups such as the Mennonites and Hutterites, some of which still exist today.
