Would We All Be Muslims?! — Ask Anabaptist Perspectives Anything Ep. 38

Paul writes: “The problem is that if medieval westerners were Anabaptists, we would all be Muslims. Do you like this outcome or do you recognize a problem in your ideology?”  

Marlin (and Jaran and Reagan) beg to differ.  What could history have looked like if all medieval Europeans had embraced Jesus’ way? What happened to the church in areas under Muslim rulers? 

Paul was commenting on Episode 163 “Tragedy in Church History”
