On #ThisDayInHistory in 1521 the #ZwickauProphets arrived in Wittenberg, preaching the #Apocalypse. Part of the #RadicalReformation, their spiritualism (direct revelation from the #HolySpirit) put them at odds with #MartinLuther's #SolaScriptura. They also prefigured #Anabaptism.

Yet most of the history of Western Christianity has been about power and control and domination.
This book, MAKING IT PLAIN by @druhart.bsky.social, is a corrective to the current ways of thinking and doing.

I'm warning you that this is not going to be a treatise on cloud-based theologies of belief. This is a book to challenge you to get your shoes on and get out the door.

MAKING IT PLAIN, by @druhart.bsky.social , not only explains this embrace but also shows the path out of that captivity into a more holistic faith that considers both the individual and the community.

But the result was that the faith became the tool of empire. Anabaptism rose in resistance to this intermingling, and this book by @druhart.bsky.social tells the story.

Had the weirdest dream last night… a twitch streamer was singing the hymn “In the Rifted Rock I’m Resting,” but with the OG German words (that the Russian Mennos would have sang). Is that what happens to someone about to give a sermon on 16th century Anabaptism? #Anabaptism #Mennonite
Artist's concepts of university student Conrad Grebel, Catholic priest Georg Blaurock and university student Felix Manz were painted by Oliver Wendell Schenk in 1972.
When I taught religion at a church school in the late 1970s, my Grade 11 students were always rapt when I relayed the events of Jan. 21, 1525, in Zurich. I wondered if I'd see the 500th anniversary of #Anabaptism. Yet here we are. The courage of those young men still amazes me.
