noun

  1. (countable, uncountable)The doctrine espoused by Anabaptists.
    “Anabaptism in South Germany and Austria had a different flavor than the Anabaptist movement in Switzerland. Whereas Anabaptism in Switzerland arose in opposition to Zwingli's slow pace of reform, Anabaptism in South Germany and Austria was shaped by the failed Peasants' War and was influenced by the apocalyptic theology of Thomas Müntzer.”
