The Sources of Swiss Anabaptism

The 170 letters and documents in this volume show how Conrad Grebel, a bright young Swiss patriot, became a fervent, influential leader of the sixteenth-century Anabaptist movement. The climax of the drama comes in January 1525 when Grebel performs the first baptisms, signaling the founding of a new church and the rejection of the Anabaptists by Zwingli.
