What They're Saying
Critics Review
Restoration Quarterly “A sympathetic and fair-minded account. Estep is a spiritually sensitive, careful, and thoughtful scholar. His book is the best popular synthetic treatment of sixteenth-century Anabaptist history.”
Fides et Historia “A valuable contribution to Reformation studies… It would be difficult to find a better volume for an introduction to sixteenth-century Anabaptism.”
Southwestern Journal of Theology “Recommended for its forceful and engaging style and for its unquestionable scholarship. Pastors, students, and scholars will be better informed in the area of Radical Reformation studies by its careful perusal.”
Church History “Accurate historically and may be used effectively for introductions by those within the believing camp of Anabaptism as well as by inquiring outsiders.”
