They were centuries ahead of their time and paid a terrible price for it. The unbelievable story of the beginning of the ANABAPTISTS. Their faith stood up to even the most frightening atrocities.
Based on Myron Augsburger's acclaimed book, here is the story of Michael and Margaretha Sattler and the beginnings of the Anabaptist movement in 16th century Europe.
Michael was a monk and Margaretha a nun. They both left their religious orders in search of a New Testament faith. Their brief marriage was terminated when Michael was burned at the stake and Margaretha drowned in May 1527 for their crucial role in the formation of the radical Anabaptist movement.
Neither Catholic nor Protestant, these radical reformers sought to go back to the Bible. Religion and the state were always intertwined. Even the early Protestant movements were tied to their states and princes. But this people refused such ties and offered the world a new vision.
