John A. Hostetler Bücher
Dieser Autor hat sich tief in das Studium der Amish- und Hutterer-Gemeinschaften vertieft. Seine Arbeit erforscht ihre einzigartigen sozialen Strukturen und Lebensweisen. Durch seine Forschung bot er wertvolle Einblicke in diese faszinierenden Gruppen. Sein Vermächtnis liegt darin, ihre Welt einem breiteren Publikum zugänglich gemacht zu haben.
Highly acclaimed in previous editions—with more than 85,000 copies in print— this classic work by John Hostetler has been expanded and updated to reflect current research on Amish history and culture as well as the new concerns of Amish communities throughout North America. In this fourth edition of Amish Society Hostetler takes the reader inside Amish culture and explains the nature of Amish religious beliefs and ceremonies, community and family life, tensions with worldly values, and interactions with outsiders. He offers updated information on a variety of topics, including Amish population trends, land use and farming practices, and relations with the state.
