About the Book

Selected by Choice Magazine as an Outstanding Academic Book of the Year "The publication of this volume is cause for celebration! The years of painstaking research in untold towns, cities, and libraries in Europe, as well as in North America, the empathy the author brought to the subject ...the skill evident in translating, especially technical terms, and the firm grasp of both minute details and their implications, as well as the overall story, have raised the level of historical scholarship to a new high."--Cornelius J. Dyck, Church History Packull has woven together the fascinating, intricate story of Upper German Anabaptism and demonstrated a high degree of historical inter-connectedness, at least within Swiss, South German, Moravian, and Silesian Anabaptism." --The Mennonite Quarterly Review "Johns Hopkins University Press is to be congratulated for publishing this volume and thus broadening its growing list of significant works on the Amish and Hutterite branches of the Anabaptist family...The scholarly apparatus is excellent, with a comprehensive bibliography of research on Anabaptism, extensive notes, and some very useful appendicies. Packull's book will be an indispensible tool and resource for all who describe and interpret these traditions from religious and social perspectives." --The Conrad Grebel Review

Review :
The publication of this volume is cause for celebration! The years of painstaking research in untold towns, cities, and libraries in Europe, as well as in North America, the empathy the author brought to the subject... the skill evident in translating, especially technical terms, and the firm grasp of both minute details and their implications, as well as the overall story, have raised the level of historical scholarship to a new high. -- Cornelius J. Dyck Church History Werner Packull is one of the most careful, balanced and thorough historians that Anabaptist studies has produced... and now achieves a new high point with his Hutterite Beginnings. -- A. James Reimer Religious Studies Review This remarkable history of early Swiss and Upper German Anabaptism sets a new norm for scholarship, combining as it does for the first time in such depth the methodologies of social history and the history of ideas. Werner O. Packull seems to have left no stone unturned... A fascinating, intricate story. -- Leonard Gross Mennonite Quarterly Review Johns Hopkins University Press is to be congratulated for publishing this volume and thus broadening its growing list of significant works on the Amish and Hutterite branches of the Anabaptist family... The scholarly apparatus is excellent, with a comprehensive bibliography of research on Anabaptism, extensive notes, and some very useful appendices. Packull's book will be an indispensable tool and resource for all who describe and interpret these traditions from religious and social perspectives. -- Walter Klaassen Conrad Grebel Review The publication of this volume is cause for celebration! The years of painstaking research in untold towns, cities, and libraries in Europe, as well as in North America, the empathy the author brought to the subject... the skill evident in translating, especially technical terms, and the firm grasp of both minute details and their implications, as well as the overall story, have raised the level of historical scholarship to a new high. -- Cornelius J. Dyck Church History Extensive quotations from the Hutterite Chronicle, the prison letters, and other witness accounts give immediacy to Packull's narrative and provide English readers with a window on primary sources that remain largely untranslated... With its wealth of evocative source material, it is a highly readable account that will appeal not only to specialists but also to undergraduates and general readers. -- Erika Rummel American Historical Review Packull is to be lauded for doing the research so thoroughly and presenting the results so lucidly. His is a meticulous and masterful piece of scholarship in a neglected area of ecclesiastical history. Bibliotheque d'Humanisme et Renaissance
