Almost two hundred years before the liberal tradition of religious freedom, toleration, and consent was birthed in the west, a group of radical Christians in northern Europe had already rediscovered these ideas in the New Testament.

The Anarchist Anabaptist seeks to restore Anabaptism to its rightful place in this history.
