Believers' Churches have their origin in the Radical Reformation of
the sixteenth century. Over the past 450 years the movement has
included the Brethren, Mennonites, Hutterites, various types of
Baptists, and the Restoration Movement. While never a unified
denominational structure, the Believers' Churches together have
been characterized by a strong personal faith in Christ, a call to
discipleship and Christian activism, a high view of the authority
of Scripture, and profession of faith in believers' baptism. The
Believers' Churches have represented their beliefs in various
ecumenical settings, missionary gatherings, and theological
conversations. In the late 1950s, representatives of the several
Believers' Churches began to meet in a series of conferences to
explore their common views on doctrine, history, and ethics. Topics
at the conferences have included baptism, Lord's Supper, the nature
of the church, and religious voluntarism. In 2016, the 17th
Believers' Church Conference was held at Acadia University and
sponsored by Acadia Divinity College. The theme was 'The Tendency
Toward Separationism Among the Believers' Churches', a key
recurring characteristic. This volume includes the papers presented
at the conference and examines the theme from an immediate
post-Reformation perspective, including Baptists, Black Baptists,
Restorationists (including the Churches of Christ), the Hutterites,
Pentecostals, the role of women, and significantly, the
separationist tendency as it occurs in New Religious Movements.
Typologies and analyses are provided by leading historians,
theologians, and social science specialists.
