‘Anabaptism: neither Catholic nor Protestant’ remains a classic description of the Anabaptist movement. The author's casual and inviting writing style, combined with his mastery of sixteenth-century historical sources, has resulted in a rare book: reliable, informative and a pleasure to read. Klassen shows how Anabaptists combined elements of Protestantism and Catholicism into a third option which, he argues, has continuing relevance for the present — especially in the areas of lay witness, peace and war, economics and relationships with the state.
