Reviews
"[...] this volume brings Anabaptist research a significant step forward, never failing to provide even the well-read student of Anabaptism with fresh insights, often at the most unexpected of places".
Stephen E. Buckwalter, Bucer-Forschungsstelle, Heidelberg. In: The Mennonite Quarterly Review, Vol. 83, No. 3 (July 2009).
"Der Band, der sich methodisch-theoretisch im Spektrum der aktuellen Diskussionen über die Anfänge der Täufer sowie kulturwissenschaftlicher Ansätze bewegt, stellt ein willkommenes und den Stand der Täuferforschung in breiter Form zusammenfassendes Handbuch dar. [...] Karten ergänzen den Band, auch der Index, der neben Namen und Orten Sachbegriffe und Druckwerke aufgenommen hat, ist lobend hervorzuheben. Das große Verdienst des Bandes ist seine thematisch und chronologisch breite Präsentation der täuferischen Bewegungen, die auch die frühen Anfänge unter Thomas Müntzer, Andreas Karlstadt und die Bauernaufstände sowie die spiritualistischen Traditionen mit einbezieht."
