Description
Anabaptists – danger or blessing for Early Modern Societies? Up to the 18th century Anabaptists were persecuted in various regions of the Old Reich and its neighbouring territories. Toleration remained a matter of negotiation. The present study examines the Anabaptists in their communicative relations – towards the authorities which in regard to the Anabaptist understanding could never be “Christian”, towards other confessional deviant subjects and as argument in debates on the toleration of confessional deviance. The emerging horizontal and vertical line of communication shows the Anabaptists as incorporated into the political-societal system of the Early Modern Times and as political actors. Via the Anabaptists Early Modern political spaces as well as ideas that constitute society and possibilities to integrate confessional deviant subjects appear from a different point of view. In the synopsis from the 16th to the 18th century we gain insight into the changes of the juridical regulations on confessional and political-societal norms and into the long tradition of arguments that exclude or include.
