Could you imagine being an Anabaptist in the time of the Reformation? Making a decision to be re-baptized could cost your life; ironically, the penalty for re-baptism was drowning. From water of life to water of death. What a way to go.
I have always been fascinated by Anabaptist theology, particularly that of Menno Simons. I once read some Simons; there is much in his writing that is valuable for contextual re-envisioning. There is also much that would leave one to suspect that more could be said on particular issues. Anyway, that is all I have for now.
