The Reformers and Their Stepchildren, by Leonard Verduin. In this book, the author explains how the Anabaptists and the Reformers clashed over exactly the same question: “Who are ‘we’? ” The Reformers said that “we” equaled everyone in a given nation. The Anabaptists—in contrast—believed that “we” only pertained to the Church—the Body of Christ—and that the State’s authority ended at the doorstep of the ekklesia.
