To this end, he took a leadership role with the Täuferaktenkommission des Vereins für Reformationsgeschichte and consistently supported the course of research with his own contributions. He also demonstrated an understanding for those who heralded a fundamental revision of Anabaptist scholarship and who no longer spoke of monogenesis but referred to Anabaptists beginnings as being polygenetic.
