If Anyone Would Follow Me

We’re delighted to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the founding of Anabaptism with the release of If Anyone Would Follow Me, a new 13-lesson Anabaptist history study guide. This book is designed to be used by Anabaptist churches in group study settings like Sunday school, small groups, Wednesday evening Bible studies, or similar kinds of settings. The thirteen lessons give an overview of the Anabaptist movement, from the soil that gave rise to the movement up through the major developments of the last century. The lessons note the unique emphases of various streams of Anabaptism, and at the same time illuminate the beliefs and values that have been essential to nearly all Anabaptists over the centuries. Seeing history as an inspiration and a warning to build on the foundation of Christ, the course shows the weaknesses as well as the strengths in the history of the Anabaptists.

This study guide is designed to be accessible to youth as well as adults. No previous knowledge of this history is needed in order to understand and benefit from its content. For group study, it would be advisable where possible for the course to be taught by someone with interest in and knowledge of this subject. A teacher’s supplement containing additional notes, background information, and discussion ideas is also available.
