The second part of John Howard Yoder's study of the Swiss Anabaptists, published in German in 1968 by EVZ-Verlag in Zurich. Where the first volume (1962) traced the history of the conversations between Anabaptists and Reformers, this one analyses them theologically, issue by issue, asking what the two sides actually disagreed about. An English translation appeared in 2004 from Pandora Press as Anabaptism and Reformation in Switzerland: An Historical and Theological Analysis of the Dialogues Between Anabaptists and Reformers.
