4.9/5 (26593 ratings)

Description:Many treatments of the Old Order Amish abound. Most of them briefly describe the European origins of the Amish, skip the nineteenth century, and then focus on the 20th century and later. Paton Yoder has filled this gap by providing a carefully researched history of the Amish in the 19th century. This era forged the identity and character of the Amish church in ways that have reached far into the present.Yoder describes the consolidation and gelling of Amish church life in the first half of the 19th century. Second, he outlines the polity, beliefs, and discipline--the ecclesiastical milieu--of the Amish in midcentury. Third and perhaps most important, Yoder describes the development of the Great Schism of 1865 that fractured the Amish community and led to an increasing division. Finally, Yoder traces the subsequent journey of the two factions. The progressives or Amish Mennonites moved rapidly toward mainstream Mennonites in the last quarter of the 19th century and eventually joined them. The conservatives eventually became known as the Old Order Amish.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
