Publisher's Description

Conrad Grebel's significance for the Christian Church lies in the continuing Swiss Brethren movement (Evangelical Anabaptism) of which he was the founder. Though he died a few months after the open break with the Zwinglian Reformation, his movement survived to become a major player in Christendom. This is the definitive Grebel biography by one of this century's top Anabaptist scholars. Bender was the former president of the Mennonite World Conference, editor of "Mennonite Encyclopedia" and author of the noted book "The Anabaptist Vision."
