Anabaptism vs Evangelicalism — Ask Anabaptist Perspectives Anything Episode 37
What is evangelicalism? Is Anabaptism another version of evangelicalism? In this partner episode, Chester Weaver shares personal insight and sheds some light on this listener-submitted question.
Protestantism could be viewed as a larger circle with sub-circles of practice, such as fundamentalism and evangelicalism. Roman Catholicism or Orthodoxy is a second circle. Historical Anabaptism is called the third way. The third circle that is a completely different path.
“We don’t just believe, we practice — and faith is evidenced by practice. If we don’t really practice, we don’t really have faith. Evangelicalism is more credal, anabaptism is more discipleship.”
