Abstract: Book Reviews / Comptes rendus / 79 but rather the logical conclusion of early Anabaptist thought about the nature of property and possessions.Hutterite Beginnings also has significance for the understanding of Anabaptism which extends beyond reassigning the Hutterites and other Moravian Anabap- tists to their rightful place in the history of the movement.As a melting pot of Swiss and South German Anabaptist traditions, Moravia provides the opportunity to test some basic assumptions in Anabaptist studies.Packull's analysis of the interaction of these traditions involves a revision on the polygenesis model of early Anabaptism to which he contributed significantly.This is not to suggest that polygenesis has been abandoned, but rather that it has become more nuanced to accomodate new research.Equally important are the implications of Packull's re-evaluation of the debate between Marpeck and the spiritualizing Anabaptists and its aftershocks down to the 1540s which further erode the sharp boundaries drawn between "Spiritualists" and "Sectarians" in the Radical Reformation. Hutterite Beginnings, like its subject matter, has significance far beyond the boundaries of the Hutterian Briiderhofe or the borders of Moravia.It will provide stimulating and profitable reading for scholars of Anabaptism and the Reformation more generally.
