David Neufeld, historian of religion, culture, and everyday life in early modern Europe, explores how mutual dependency between the early Anabaptists and the surrounding community was based not on creed but on credit, and the ongoing evaluation of reputation, construction of moral knowledge, and building of trust across religious difference that it entailed.
