David Joris (c. 1501-1556) is one of the most misunderstood figures of the 16th-century Anabaptist movement, although in his era he was one of the movement’s most important leaders in the Low Countries. He helped both militant and non-violent Anabaptists cope with the failure of Anabaptist attempts to establish the kingdom of God in the Netherlands and the north German city of Munster between 1533 and 1535. Provides a glimpse into the thought of this fascinating and sometimes puzzling individual as well as shedding light on the nature of Dutch Anabaptism after Munster.
