总结:This article examines the social make up and development of the Anabaptist movement in Amsterdam between 1531 and 1535. It argues that Anabaptism in that city carried on attempts for social and religious reform begun by the Sacramentarians, but in a more radical direction. This radicalization of reform was accelerated by the socioeconomic crisis in the 150 and 1530s which affected Dutch artisans, who formed the bulk of Anabaptist membership, most severely. In spite of their revolutionary aims, the majority of Anabaptists in Amsterdam refused to adopt revolutionary tactics, and their attempt to establish the Kingdom of God in the city failed.
