The Amish, Brethren, Hutterites, and Mennonites (collective known as Anabaptists) may bring to mind farming, straw hats, bonnets, and homemade clothing; however each of these groups has separate histories and beliefs. This encyclopedia does an excellent job of defining each of the groups by illuminating their histories, geographic regions, group rules, and biblical basis for their stance on certain topics such as abortion, baptism, communal living, and shunning. This is a wonderful starter source for readers and researchers curious about Anabaptists.
