“ I dare to hope that through these pages the world of the sixteenth century may come alive, and the Anabaptists within it, with all their virtues and faults, their strengths and weaknesses, but above all with the faith and ideals that motivated them to witness in word and deed in life and in death for that truth which for them was worth the living and the dying.
— Preface to The Anabaptist Story by William Roscoe Estep
