Author Description

In the midst of tall castles, warring pikemen, dreadful plagues, church decay, and the superstition and darkness of sixteenth-century Europe, the Anabaptist revival burst into flames. One of the first leaders was a partying university dropout who met Christ and was transformed into a fiery preacher, confronting and challenging the greatest reformers of the day. He became co-founder of the Anabaptist movement, which gave rise to the Amish and Mennonites. Excellent for supplemental reading in a Christian history course
