The Sources of Swiss Anabaptism: The Grebel Letters and Related Documents

This volume’s 170 letters and documents portray how Conrad Grebel, a bright young Swiss patriot, became a fervent, influential leader of the sixteenth-century Anabaptist movement. The editor, Leland Harder, calls the book “a drama with five acts, prologue, and epilogue” with a cast of 107 characters. The main characters are Grebel and Huldrych Zwingli, vicar at the Grossmünster in Zurich.

The climax of the drama comes in January 1525 when Grebel performs the first rebaptisms, signaling the founding of a new church and the rejection of the Anabaptists by Zwingli. It’s a moment rich in implications for future Christians. “These letters and documents are not published for scholars only,” states Harder, “but for all seekers and believers.”
