- Anabaptism developed along unique lines in central Germany, where the movement was made up of scattered groups without charismatic leaders. The central German Lutheran heartlands have hitherto been neglected by historians of Anabaptism, but Hill’s extensive archive work for an Oxford DPhil in Nuremberg, Mühlhausen, Erfurt and Dresden on neglected regional sources, and funded by the AHRC and the Deutsche Akademiker Austausch Dienst (DAAD), rescues these unheard voices. Winner of the 2016 Gerald Strauss Prize, it traces how Anabaptism in central Germany created novel forms of piety which mingled with new ideas on the Eucharist, baptism and brotherhood.
