  • In the World of Academic Scholarship, Revision Is the Lifeblood of Our Work
    IN THIS ISSUE In the world of academic scholarship, revision is the lifeblood of our work. New cultural and political realities continually prompt us to ask fresh questions; the discovery of additional sources forces scholars to revise assumptions that had once seemed clear; the evidence to which we appeal can always be interpreted in new contexts; and our methodological and disciplinary frameworks are always being challenged and refined. To the cynic, this constant process of revision can make scholarship seem like a hopelessly subjective enterprise—a gathering of endlessly shifting perspectives in which everything is merely an opinion and nothing is ever certain. But most of us recognize that our pursuit of Truth—be it in history, religion, philosophy, or any other discipline—is always, and necessarily, incomplete. The models we use to interpret the past frequently conceal as much as they reveal. Instead of making claims to describe the past “as it actually was,” in the words of the German historian Leopold von Ranke, it is more helpful for us to think of our work as a “continuing conversation” (or debate), as we seek to deepen our understanding of reality from new perspectives and amid changing circumstances. This issue of MQR offers readers a window into the revisionist nature of Anabaptist-Mennonite scholarship. The issue opens with my essay on the practice of church discipline among the Swiss Brethren that complicates conventional understandings of church-state relations in the seventeenth century. Traditionally, many historians of “confessional- ization” have argued that European states augmented their power in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries by co-opting the moral authority, religious discipline, and ecclesiastical structures of the territorial church.

  • A Study of Early Anabaptism As Minority Religion in German Fiction
    Heresy or Ideal Society? A Study of Early Anabaptism as Minority Religion in German Fiction DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ursula Berit Jany Graduate Program in Germanic Languages and Literatures The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Professor Barbara Becker-Cantarino, Advisor Professor Katra A. Byram Professor Anna Grotans Copyright by Ursula Berit Jany 2013 Abstract Anabaptism, a radical reform movement originating during the sixteenth-century European Reformation, sought to attain discipleship to Christ by a separation from the religious and worldly powers of early modern society. In my critical reading of the movement’s representations in German fiction dating from the seventeenth to the twentieth century, I explore how authors have fictionalized the religious minority, its commitment to particular theological and ethical aspects, its separation from society, and its experience of persecution. As part of my analysis, I trace the early historical development of the group and take inventory of its chief characteristics to observe which of these aspects are selected for portrayal in fictional texts. Within this research framework, my study investigates which social and religious principles drawn from historical accounts and sources influence the minority’s image as an ideal society, on the one hand, and its stigmatization as a heretical and seditious sect, on the other. As a result of this analysis, my study reveals authors’ underlying programmatic aims and ideological convictions cloaked by their literary articulations of conflict-laden encounters between society and the religious minority.

  • The Roots of Anabaptist Empathetic Solidarity, Nonviolent Advocacy, and Peacemaking
    The Roots of Anabaptist Empathetic Solidarity, Nonviolent Advocacy, and Peacemaking John Derksen Introduction uch of Mennonite nonviolent advocacy and peacebuild- ing today finds its roots in sixteenth-century Anabaptism. But Msixteenth-century Anabaptists were diverse. In keeping with the polygenesis viewSAMPLE of Anabaptist origins, this paper assumes diversity in the geography, origins, cultures, shaping influences, spiritual orientations, attitudes to violence, and other expressions of Anabaptists.1 We define Anabaptists as those who accepted (re)baptism or believer’s baptism and the implications of that choice. Various Anabaptists had sectarian, ascetic, spiri- tualist, social revolutionary, apocalyptic, rationalistic, or other orientations, and the distinctions between them were often blurred. Geographically, they emerged in Switzerland in 1525, in South Germany-Austria in 1526, and in the Netherlands in 1530. Many agree that the Anabaptists displayed 1. Stayer, Packull, and Deppermann, “Monogenesis,” 83–121; Coggins, “Defini- tion”; Stayer, Sword. Surveys of Anabaptist history that incorporate the polygenesis perspective include Snyder, Anabaptist, and Weaver, Becoming Anabaptist. Works that explore Anabaptist unity beyond polygenesis include Weaver, Becoming Anabaptist, and Roth and Stayer, Companion. 13 © 2016 The Lutterworth Press 14 Historical Conditions of Anabaptist-Mennonite Peacebuilding Approaches both Protestant and Catholic characteristics in different configurations. “Negatively, there was anger against social, economic, and religious abuses . but responses to this discontent varied widely. Positively, the ‘Word of God’ served as a rallying point for all, but differences . emerged over how it was understood and used.”2 While Swiss Anabaptists tended to fa- vor sectarianism after the 1525 Peasants’ War, South German and Austrian Anabaptists tended more toward spiritualism, and early Dutch Anabaptists tended toward apocalyptic thinking.

  • The Challenge of Menno Simons' Symbolic View of the Lord's Supper (The Conrad Grebel Review, Fall 2006)
    The Challenge of Menno Simons’ Symbolic View of the Lord’s Supper Joel Schmidt Introduction In sacramental Christian traditions there exists a general conviction that Spirit may be mediated by matter, the eternal by the temporal, and the infinite by the finite. More specifically, particular ceremonies are taken to mediate God’s power in an especially forceful and direct manner, namely, the sacraments. This theological resolution to the puzzle of the relationship between Spirit and matter has, however, most frequently been perceived to be unavailable to Christians of an Anabaptist orientation. Speaking from within the tradition with which I am familiar, Mennonites from the North American General Conference and Mennonite Church1 are used to thinking of themselves as decidedly non-sacramental. This is, of course, in contradiction to the general experience of most Mennonites that God is not available just through the Word or the gathered community of believers but more broadly in the world at large. Nevertheless, when it comes to the formal theological or ritualized recognition of many people’s general experience, most North American Anabaptist fellowships continue to resist acknowledging the sacramental nature of Christian experience. One of the most likely places for such acknowledgment is the Lord’s Supper. Due to the provocative biblical passages associated with this “ordinance,” the direct association of the elements with Jesus, and the clarity of the origin of this rite with his instruction, one might expect it would be here, if anywhere, that Anabaptists could celebrate a sacramental understanding of reality. However, such an expectation is not fulfilled in most contemporary Anabaptist thought or practice.

It argues that Anabaptist men challenged traditional gender norms of European society, and through their unique understanding of the Reformation’s message of salvation, these men constructed new ideas about masculinity that were at odds with Protestant and Catholic culture. Anabaptist men placed piety and ethics at the center of reform, and argued for the moral improvement of Christians. In separation from Catholics and mainstream Protestants, Anabaptists created a new culture that exhibited behavior often viewed as dangerous.

  • A Reinterpretation of Melchior Hoffman's Exposition Against the Background of Spiritualist Franciscan Eschatology with Special Reference to Peter John Olivi
    A REINTERPRETATION OF MELCHIOR HOFFMAN'S EXPOSITION AGAINST THE BACKGROUND OF SPIRITUALIST FRANCISCAN ESCHATOLOGY WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO PETER JOHN OLIVI by WERNER 0. PACKULL Melchior Hoffman's obsession with apocalyptic texts, his seemingly fanciful in­ terpretation of Scripture have been described as the 'childish preoccupation of a fanatical spirit' (schwiirmerischen Geist). 1 But such an assessment based on modern assumptions and on unfavourable comparisons with the concerns of the major Reformers fails to appreciate the inner coherence of Hoffman's thought. For however significant the issues of justification, free will, predestination, Word and Spirit for Reformation theology, they were not the key elements that inspired Hoffman's vision. Without a formal theological training Hoffman drew his inspiration precisely from those apocalyptic texts - Daniel, the fourth book of Ezra and Revelation - which Luther declared obscure and in need of elucida­ tion for the common man. 2 The Book of Revelation in particular held a special place in Hoffman's canon. It constituted the keyhole through which he scanned the rest of Scripture. When his long announced Auslegung de, Offenbarung (hereafter Exposition) appeared in 15 303 major portions of his previous exegetical efforts were an integral part, permitting the inference that these earlier works as well originated in conjunction with a thorough study of the Apocalypse. 4 And even after Hoffman had been reduced to pitiful circumstances, confined for years to a 'solitary dark hole', his preoccupation with the Apocalypse continued. Deprived of ink and paper, dependent on his memory, he committed revisions of 1 Friedrich zur Linden speaks of 'bedauerliche Verwirrung eines schwiirrnerischen Geistes' (p.

  • Pentecostal Aspects of Early Sixteenth Century Anabaptism
    PENTECOSTAL ASPECTS OF EARLY SIXTEENTH CENTURY ANABAPTISM By CHARLES HANNON BYRD II A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Theology and Religion School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2009 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract Early sixteenth century radical Anabaptism emanated in Switzerland during Huldrych Zwingli’s protest against the Roman Catholic Church. Much like Martin Luther, Zwingli founded his reform effort on the Bible being the final arbiter of the faith, sola scriptura, and the sufficiency of the shed blood of Christ plus nothing for eternal salvation, sola fide. Based on these principles both adopted the doctrine of the Priesthood of the Believer which recognized every believer’s Spirit empowered ability to read and interpret the Bible for themselves. These initial theological tenets resulted in the literal reading of the Bible and a very pragmatic Christian praxis including a Pauline pneumatology that recognized the efficacy of the manifestation of the charismata. Radical adherents of Zwingli rejected infant baptism as being totally unbiblical and insisted upon the rebaptism of adults, but only on a personal confession of faith, thus the term Anabaptist.

  • An Examination of the Visions of Ursula Jost in the Context of Early Anabaptism and Late Medieval Christianity
    An Examination of the Visions of Ursula Jost in the Context of Early Anabaptism and Late Medieval Christianity by Christina Moss A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2013 © Christina Moss 2013 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of my thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that this thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract In early 1530, the lay preacher and recent Anabaptist convert Melchior Hoffman published a series of seventy-seven visions by the Strasbourg butcher’s wife Ursula Jost. In its own day this series of visions, which is the longest extant sixteenth-century document written from the perspective of an Anabaptist woman, attracted the attention of Strasbourg’s authorities and became popular among Dutch Anabaptists who followed Hoffman. In the twentieth century the visions have been studied by Klaus Deppermann and Lois Barrett, who came to widely diverging conclusions on Ursula’s values and her place in the Anabaptist movement. Deppermann saw her as an angry, even bloodthirsty woman whose visions revealed “a murderous hatred of existing society” and inspired violent actions of the part of other Anabaptists, while Barrett argued that Ursula’s visions reflected “the Anabaptist-Mennonite ethic of establishing the reign of God nonviolently.” In light of the radically different conclusions reached by Deppermann and Barrett, this study conducts a fresh re-examination of the visions of Ursula Jost in order to determine what Ursula’s example reveals about sixteenth-century Anabaptism.

  • Confessional Migration: Anabaptists – Mennonites, Hutterites, Baptists Etc
    Confessional Migration: Anabaptists – Mennonites, Hutterites, Baptists etc. by Geoffrey Dipple Lacking a durable alliance with the state anywhere in Europe, Anabaptists constituted one of the most persecuted and most mobile religious populations of the Reformation and Confessional Ages. A single, clearly defined magisterial office was also absent from the movement, and the Anabaptists' migratory experience encouraged regional variations in the movement that built on its distinct starting points and traditions. At the same time, interactions between different Anabaptist groups undermined those regional differences. The result was the formation of distinct yet inter‐related traditions that survived the Confessional Age: Mennonites, Swiss Brethren, Amish, and Hutterites. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2.
