The Spread of Anabaptism (Part 2)

Steve Gregg discusses the distinctives that set the Anabaptist movement apart from other reformed churches of its time, including their belief in common ownership of goods and pacifism. The movement originated in Switzerland among young students of Zwingli who felt he was not willing to fully reform the church. Anabaptists were persecuted for their beliefs, but their influence on the reform movement is still felt today. Gregg also touches on the Moravian movement and Dutch Anabaptism, including the tragic Munster episode and the elevation of personal revelations above Scriptures in the Inspirationist movement.
