Synopsis

The oldest and largest communal society in North America, the Hutterites-Anabaptists of German origin, like the Amish, Mennonites, and Brethren-have long been the subject of scholarly study and popular curiosity. Werner Packull tells the comprehensive story of the Hutterite beginnings in their original homelands-particularly in Tyrol and Moravia-and discovers important relationships among early Anabaptist sects.

Werner O. Packull (1941-2018) was a professor of history at Conrad Grebel College, University of Waterloo, Ontario, where he taught from 1983-2003.
