Hutterite Society

Informationen zum Autor John A. Hostetler (1918–2001) is author of the best-selling Amish Society and the widely acclaimed Hutterite Society, both available from Johns Hopkins. Raised in the Amish faith, he was founding director of the Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies at Elizabethtown College in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania, and a former professor of anthropology and sociology at Temple University. Klappentext --'New York Times Book Review' "An impressive picture of a people who share the general Anabaptist rejection of worldly thrills and pleasures, but who have a special distinction of their own--a strict devotion to communal living that has endured with little change for more than four centuries."--'Time' "'Hutterite Society', an even more impressive work than Hostetler's earlier 'Amish Society', is surely destined to become a minor classic widely read and acclaimed by scholars and the general public."--'Sociology' "Essential to any study of Hutterites."--'American Historical Review' Zusammenfassung and their strategies for survival.
