Document Summary

Compare and contrast the reformation among the anabaptists and the english in the elizabethan period. Discuss the historical context of each reformation and three religious differences distinguishing them from each other. Your answer must mention but should not be limited to their respective beliefs about holy communion/the lord"s supper/the mass. Big hint: also address governmental and ecclesiastical relations as another of the three differences: historical context of anabaptists- around 15th century the rose, anabaptists & luther. The anabaptists agreed with luther that the church and state were two separate authorities. They also agreed that the civic realm should help carry out church reform. Scripture alone is the beacon of what is right and wrong, it was how to be faithful: anabaptism means baptism again. B. 1)anabaptists believed that you need to understand and be willing to be in church. B. 2)so you needed to be baptized again, infant baptism didn"t count: did not believe in transubstantiation.
