Book Description
The Mennonite Experience in America Series weaves together the histories of all Mennonite and Amish groups in the United States. It offers something new in Mennonite and Amish history: an attempt to tell not only the inside story but also how one religious people, or set of peoples, has lived and developed along with the pluralism of the nation.Richard K. MacMaster follows the Mennonite migration to the New World and analyzes the economic, social, political, and religious forces which drove these people out of the Old World into America. MacMaster paints a portrait of the lives of the early American Mennonite people: their wealth, migration patterns, social structures, family patterns, and changing attitudes toward education. He traces the influence of such movements as Pietism on these people and shows how they fit into the total context of colonial and revolutionary America. Volume 1.

Book Description
Excerpt from A History of the Goshenhoppen Reformed Charge, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania (1727-1819): Part XXIX of a Narrative and Critical History Prepared at the Request of the Pennsylvania-German History In 1849, the Rev. Dr. Philip Schaff published in his Kirchenfreund, Vol. II, a series of three articles on the History of the German Church in America, in which he traced the origin and growth of the Reformed and Ln theran churches through three successive periods.vi Preface. But the man who may well be called the father of Re formed history in America was the Rev. Dr. Henry Har baugh. He not only secured the manuscripts and docu ments of Dr. Mayer for the use of the church and added to them many others which he collected himself, but upon the basis of these documents he wrote two splendid vol umes, which told the story of Reformed history in America with such real enthusiasm and beauty of style, that they have always remained sources of inspiration for later students. They were: Schlatter's Life and Trav els, Philadelphia, 1857, and The Fathers of the Re formed Church, Vol. I, Philadelphia, 1857. In 1872, Dr. Harbaugh added a second volume to the Fathers of the church. In these volumes the lives and labors of the most important German Reformed ministers in Amer ica were set forth. It remained for a former president of the Pennsylvania German Society, the late Rev. Dr. Joseph H. Dubbs, to write the first connected history in his Historic Manual of the Reformed Church in the United States, Lancaster, 1885. Later he corrected and completed the story in his contribution to the American Church History Series, Vol. VIII, New York, 1895, and especially in his beauti fully illustrated and well-written work The Reformed Church in Pennsylvania, published by our Society in 1902 as part IX of its Narrative and Critical History.
