Western Civilization I / Unit 15 WC1 1409 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Zwingli and the Anabaptists
Captions available
The idea
Ulrich Zwingli reformed Zurich, rejecting Christ's presence in the bread entirely, and died in battle in fifteen thirty-one. Anabaptists rebaptized adults, separated church from state, and at Munster in fifteen thirty-four set up a radical kingdom that Catholics and Lutherans destroyed together.
In practice
Radicals persecuted by every side.
Where people slip
This entry rests on the witness texts. The anchor names Anabaptism once.
