This is excellent. I so appreciate the early summary, which was an excellent base for modern interpretation of Eg Mennonites or Anabaptists. Then, thank you Robin for posing those slightly more personal questions to the master. 😏 Will, are you thinking of publishing? Maybe podcasts are modern publications. I’m not up on all that, but I ask that question anyway. Anabaptists need to claim their continuing role in today’s messed-up dictatorship prone world.
Thanks, Jake.
Writing is always on the horizon. Various great scholars are already working on academic books. There is no shortage of creative fictional depictions already. If the right inspiration hits, I may try to add my voice to that collection.
Excellent series, Will! I very much enjoyed learning about where our faith came from through your podcast. Thank you to both you and Robin for putting it together! I’m looking forward to the appendices.
