Essays by distinguished Anabaptist scholars focus on important issues in Anabaptist and Mennonite studies. Several essays focus on 16th- and 17th-century studies addressing key topics such as baptism, sacraments, and conversion. Other essays bridge the gap between past theologies and current applications. They examine current trends among Mennonites such as pluralism, changing identity, and the free church. Edited by Walter Klaassen.
