Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The Amish Way of War: Conscientious Objectors Through American Conflicts For over three centuries, one religious community has faced imprisonment, legal persecution, and social ostracism rather than compromise their biblical commitment to peace. The Amish Way of War reveals how the Amish have navigated every major American conflict from the Revolutionary War (1775-1783) through the post-9/11 era, maintaining their refusal to bear arms while facing draft boards, federal prosecutors, and hostile neighbors.Author Benjamin Eli Yoder draws from extensive archival research, including court records from the 1972 landmark Supreme Court case Wisconsin v. Yoder, Civil War-era draft documents, and World War I federal prison files to chronicle this remarkable story of faith under fire. Through meticulous documentation spanning from 1693 to 2025, readers witness how ordinary farmers and craftsmen chose suffering over violence, even when it meant losing their land, their freedom, or their lives.This compelling narrative exposes the tension between religious conscience and civic duty that has tested American democracy since its founding. From the story of Daniel Hochstetler, captured by Lenape warriors in 1757 after his father refused to take up arms, to modern-day encounters with Selective Service registration and post-9/11 surveillance policies, Yoder presents previously untold accounts of quiet courage.What you will learn: How Amish communities responded to each major American warThe development of conscientious objector status from 1940 onwardReal stories of imprisonment, legal battles, and family sacrificesThe theological foundations that sustain nonviolent resistanceModern challenges facing peace communities in a militarized societyWritten with scholarly rigor yet accessible prose, this book challenges readers to reconsider the relationship between faith, citizenship, and conscience. Whether you're a student of American religious history, interested in peace studies, or seeking to understand how minority communities preserve their values against overwhelming pressure, this thoroughly researched work provides essential insights into the cost of discipleship in modern America.Perfect for readers of church history, American religious studies, and anyone interested in the intersection of faith and public policy.
