Publisher's Description
The Pocket Anabaptist delves into the heart of sixteenth-century Anabaptism, highlighting its distinct approach to faith, community, and ethics. By weaving together excerpts from the movement's earliest confessions and thought leaders, Cook showcases their radical commitment to creedal Christianity, believers' baptism, non-violence, and a life patterned after Christ's example. Whether the reader is a scholar, a seeker, or simply curious about the roots of Anabaptist Christianity, Cook's book offers a compelling account of how these radical Christians sought to embody the gospel of Jesus Christ.

“Cody Cook provides readers with an accessible yet comprehensive overview of historic Anabaptist theology. Cook covers many topics including hermeneutics, the Eucharist, church discipline, the role of government, and the return of Jesus. Anyone curious about Anabaptism will find The Pocket Anabaptist to be a helpful resource.”
“Cody Cook provides an accessible and serious ‘systematic theology’ of Anabaptism. Its strength is in regularly referencing the earliest of Anabaptist leaders. He considers Anabaptism in the context of the larger streams of Christianity: Roman Catholic, Protestant, and in some ways Eastern Orthodox. I found this work to be surprising in the depth and breadth of historical review, with insightful considerations for Anabaptism’s vitality today.”
