Bolton discusses similarities that exist between the Anabaptists and the Latter-day Saints, and explores the presence of Anabaptist themes in the Book of Mormon. The themes of believer's baptism, questions of the sword, mutual aid and community, salvation, grace and works, keeping the commandments, and church order are all examined. Bolton contends that while Joseph Smith initially embraced the peace advocated by these themes, he eventually adopted a stance of 'justified' violence. In spite of the legacy left by this example, all Latter-day Saints can, Bolton believes, learn from these themes to 'more fully find the way of Jesus' by wholeheartedly opposing violence and embracing the 'peace church' option.
