Doug Stuart and Cody Cook talk about Cody's new book, The Pocket Anabaptist, an introductory work about the theology, history, and unique characteristics of the Anabaptist tradition.

Cody shares what inspired him to write The Pocket Anabaptist, a concise and approachable systematic theology exploring the radical Reformation’s legacy. Doug and Cody discuss the book’s origins, the Anabaptist reputation for prioritizing ethics over systematic dogma, and the surprising depth and organization in early Anabaptist thought. The conversation delves into core topics like the relationship between anarchism and Anabaptism, the importance of the church-state separation, Anabaptist views on creeds, and how they interpret the Bible—especially in terms of Christ-centered hermeneutics and the difference between Old and New Covenants.

They also tackle how Anabaptists approach missions, their global impact, and address common questions: Are Anabaptists Protestants? How do they relate to broader Christian traditions? What role does eschatology play, especially in light of the tumultuous events at Munster, and how do Anabaptists understand ruling alongside God?

If you’re curious about the intersections of liberty, systematic theology, and practical Christian living, or if you’d like a fresh take on how the Sermon on the Mount can be lived in the here and now, this episode is a must-listen. Cody also shares where listeners can find his books and projects, so you’ll have plenty of resources to dive even deeper.
