About this episode
A comprehensive examination of the Martyrs Mirror, a significant Anabaptist martyrology compiled by Thieleman van Braght in 1660. It traces the book's origins within the context of Anabaptist persecution in early modern Europe, highlighting the movement's commitment to adult baptism and nonresistance in the face of widespread suffering. The text also explores the evolution and reception of the Martyrs Mirror through subsequent centuries, including its illustrated editions and its influence on Mennonite and Amish communities in North America, particularly concerning issues like nonconformity and pacifism. Finally, it touches upon contemporary interpretations and the global dissemination of Anabaptist martyr stories.
