Download or read book A History of the Amish written by Steven M. Nolt and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-02-02 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Amish, one of America’s most intriguingly private, unique, and often misunderstood religious communities, have survived for three hundred years! How has that happened? While much has been written on the Amish, little has been revealed about their history. This book brings together in one volume a thorough history of the Amish people. From their beginnings in Europe through their settlement in North America, the Amish have struggled to maintain their beliefs and traditions in often hostile settings. Now updated, the book gives an in-depth look at how the modern Amish church continues to grow and change. It covers recent developments in new Amish settlements, the community’s conflict and negotiation with government, the Nickel Mines school shooting, and the media’s constant fascination with this religious people, from reality TV shows to romance novels. Authoritative, thorough, and interestingly written, A History of the Amish presents the deep and rich heritage of the Amish people with dozens of illustrations and updated statistics. Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade imprint, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in history--books about World War II, the Third Reich, Hitler and his henchmen, the JFK assassination, conspiracies, the American Civil War, the American Revolution, gladiators, Vikings, ancient Rome, medieval times, the old West, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.
Download or read book The Riddle of Amish Culture written by Donald B. Kraybill and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2003-05-01 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revised edition of this classic work brings the story of the Amish into the 21st century. Since its publication in 1989, The Riddle of Amish Culture has become recognized as a classic work on one of America's most distinctive religious communities. But many changes have occurred within Amish society over the past decade, from westward migrations and a greater familiarity with technology to the dramatic shift away from farming into small business which is transforming Amish culture. For this revised edition, Donald B. Kraybill has taken these recent changes into account, incorporating new demographic research and new interviews he has conducted among the Amish. In addition, he includes a new chapter describing Amish recreation and social gatherings, and he applies the concept of "social capital" to his sensitive and penetrating interpretation of how the Amish have preserved their social networks and the solidarity of their community.
Download or read book Tradition and Transition written by Paton Yoder and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2000-10-03 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This one hundred year story of the Amish church depicts the survival of the believers in the early part of the nineteenth century. Revealing the agony of the Great Schism of 1865 which fractured the Amish church, Yoder reveals the coming maturity of the Old Order Amish and the Amish Mennonites, who merged with the Mennonites early in the twentieth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Between 1862 and 1878 a group of Amish ministers and lay people gathered annually to discuss differences in religious practices that had emerged within their scattered congregations. Known as the Dienerversammlungen - or ministers' meetings - these annual conferences proved to be a pivotal moment in the history of the Amish and Mennonite churches. The goal of the Dienerversammlungen had been to maintain unity within the fellowship amidst the many vexing issues that threatened to divide the group. By the end of the 1860s, however, the lines dividing the more progressive group (eventually to become known as the 'Amish Mennonites') from the more conservative group (the 'Old Order Amish') had become painfully clear."--Back cover.

Download or read book Fitted to Holiness written by Cory Anderson and published by . This book was released on 2019-03-10 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fashion designers know the impact of clothing. They study it, they make a living off of it, and they know how to design immodesty, well. Can plain people apply these same concepts to understand how modesty is achieved and when it is compromised? This volume, which packs in a tremendous amount of research, nurtures an appreciation for that single practice identifying the plain churches' convictions most clearly: dress. It will help the reader appreciate both God's mandate for holiness in dress and the many subtle-and not-so-subtle-ways it is under attack today.
Download or read book Authority and Female Authorship in Colonial America written by William J. Scheick and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-10-21 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Should women concern themselves with reading other than the Bible? Should women attempt to write at all? Did these activities violate the hierarchy of the universe and men's and women's places in it? Colonial American women relied on the same authorities and traditions as did colonial men, but they encountered special difficulties validating themselves in writing. William Scheick explores logonomic conflict in the works of northeastern colonial women, whose writings often register anxiety not typical of their male contemporaries. This study features the poetry of Mary English and Anne Bradstreet, the letter-journals of Esther Edwards Burr and Sarah Prince, the autobiographical prose of Elizabeth Hanson and Elizabeth Ashbridge, and the political verse of Phyllis Wheatley. These works, along with the writings of other colonial women, provide especially noteworthy instances of bifurcations emanating from American colonial women's conflicted confiscation of male authority. Scheick reveals subtle authorial uneasiness and subtextual tensions caused by the attempt to draw legitimacy from male authorities and traditions.
