This intellectual and social history is the first comprehensive
biography of Pilgram Marpeck (c. 1495-1556), a radical reformer and
lay leader of Anabaptist groups in Switzerland, Austria, and South
Germany. Marpeck's influential life and work provide a glimpse of
the theologies and practices of the Roman Church and of various
reform movements in sixteenth-century Europe.
Drawing on extensive archival data documenting Marpeck's
professional life, as well as on his numerous published and
unpublished writings on theology and religious reform, Stephen B.
Boyd traces Marpeck's unconventional transition from mining
magistrate to Anabaptist leader, establishes his connections with
various radical social and religious groups, and articulates
aspects of his social theology. Marpeck's distinctive and eclectic
theology, Boyd demonstrates, focused on the need for personal,
uncoerced conversion, rejected state interference in the affairs of
the church, denied the need for a monastic withdrawal from the
secular world, and called for the Christian's active pursuit of
justice before God and among human beings.
