The essays in this collection identify and examine significant social and technological changes that have occurred and are occurring in three specific Anabaptist originated communities--Mennonites, Amish, and Hutterites. Not surprisingly, these communities are sometimes erroneously viewed as static in nature, so readers may be in for somewhat of a surprise.
This volume has two adjunct purposes, namely to celebrate the author's six decades of involvement in the world of academic study, both as student and professor, and second, to pay tribute to his Anabaptist heritage.
