    Have you read The Reformers and their Stepchildren by Leonard Verduin?

      @@earlychristianhistorywithm8684 Well Leonard Verduin was an American Calvinist of Dutch origin who studied at Calvin Theological Seminary. He was, however, a friend of the Mennonites and Anabaptists in the US and worked hard to get Article 36 of the Christian Reformed Church's Confession of Faith changed so as to no longer condemn the Anabaptists. He lived to a ripe old age of 102. His book, The Reformers and Their Stepchildren explores the conflict between early Protestant reformers and the "stepchildren" of the Reformation which included the Anabaptists and others. He argues that while Calvin and Luther challenged the Catholic church, they maintained a church-state relationship. In contrast, the "stepchildren" envisaged a return to the early Christian ideal of separation of church and state. It is an historical analysis of the roots of religious liberty during the Reformation, showing the tension between the Reformers who wanted change within established structures and those seeking a deeper transformation of society. It deals with religious freedom, persecution and what true reform means. It is a fascinating, albeit little-known book. Long out of print but it may be found online somewhere in PDF format. I would love you to review it and perhaps bring it to "life" again.
