Michael Sattler

German Anabaptist martyr, author of the Schleitheim Confession ( – )

Michael Sattler (&#;– 20 May ) was a monk who left the Roman Catholic Church during the Protestant Reformation to become one of the early leaders of the Anabaptist movement. He was particularly influential for his role in developing the Schleitheim Confession. His leadership has been seen as stabilizing and giving direction to the early Anabaptist movement after the first leaders had been scattered or martyred.

He was convicted of heresy by Roman Catholic authorities and subsequently tortured and then burned to death at the stake.

Life

[edit]

Sattler was born around in Staufen. He became a Benedictine monk in the abbey of St. Peter, and probably became a prior. He left St. Peter's probably in May , when the monastery had been taken by troops from the Black Forest fighting in the German Peasants' War. He later married a former Beguine named Margaretha.

The date of Sattler's arrival in Zurich is not known, but he was expelled from that city on 18 November, , in a wave of expulsions of foreigners resulting from the disputation on baptism of 6–8 November.

Reviewed by Peter J. Klassen

First in a series, &#;Classics of the Radical Reformation,&#; this volume presents the most important writings of Michael Sattler. In addition, some selections are of uncertain authorship, but arise from the Sattler circle.

Herald Press and the Institute of Mennonite Studies are to be commended for this impressive production. Sattler, as a major figure in early Anabaptism, deserves to be more widely read and understood. Professor Yoder has presented precisely the kind of study needed to bring this early reformer to the attention of the wider reading public.

Yoder provides a brief sketch of the life of Sattler, reviews the history of the publication of Sattler&#;s works, and supplies highly informative introductions to the individual writings. Included in this volume are Sattler&#;s conciliatory but firm letter to the Strasbourg reformers Bucer and Capito, the Schleitheim &#;Brotherly Union,&#; practical guidelines for the f a congregation, and a pastoral letter from prison. The latter document in particular shows that, even in prison, Sattler was chiefly concerned about
