Radical Reformation

The Radical Reformation refers to a diverse and transformative movement during the 16th-century Protestant Reformation, characterized by its rejection of both the Roman Catholic Church and the emerging mainstream Protestant churches. Advocating for a more radical transformation of Christian faith and practice, groups within the Radical Reformation emphasized believer’s baptism, the separation of church and state, and a commitment to communal living and nonviolence. This movement laid the groundwork for various Anabaptist traditions and significantly influenced religious liberty and reformist ideas throughout history.
