Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The Great Amish Divide Between the fields of Pennsylvania and the plains of Ohio, a decision in 1865 splitted one of the most resilient communities in American history. The Great Amish Divide brings readers into the heart of the Amish experience - where faith, tradition, and identity were tested across generations.Based on over four centuries of historical events - from the Radical Reformation in 1525 to the legal challenges of the twentieth century - this book examines how the Amish came to define themselves through separation, resistance, and resilience. Drawing from church records, court transcripts, oral histories, and eyewitness accounts, it tells the story of how Ordnung, shunning, language, and community discipline shaped not only who the Amish are - but what they would not become.The origins of the Anabaptist movement during the Radical Reformation (1525), including the theological break from both Catholic and Protestant churches.How Menno Simons became a stabilizing leader and helped form the foundation of the Mennonite tradition through nonviolence, adult baptism, and community discipline.The brutal persecutions and martyrdoms faced by early Anabaptists in Switzerland, the Netherlands, and the Palatinate - and how this suffering shaped long-term resistance to outside authority.The reasons behind the Amish migration to North America (1720-1860), including promises of religious freedom in Pennsylvania and the challenges of resettlement.The origin and role of the Ordnung - the unwritten but binding rules that govern Amish behavior - and how it differs across communities.Why language matters: how Pennsylvania Dutch became a cultural and theological boundary marker in Amish life.How the Amish approached public education, technology, and relations with the English in the 19th and 20th centuries, including landmark court cases and cultural standoffs.Researched over dozens of scholarly sources and firsthand Amish narratives, this is not a romantic tale or an outsider's fantasy. It is a clear, respectful, and complete historical account - written for readers who care about faith, liberty, and the American cultural story. This item is printed on demand.
