Biography
Lancaster County
|
From the early 1960s to the late 1980s John A Hostetler was the
world's premier scholar of Amish life. Hailed by his peers for his
illuminating and sensitive portrayals of this oft-misunderstood
religious sect, Hostetler successfully spanned the divide between
popular and academic culture, thereby shaping perceptions of the Amish
throughout American society. He was also outspoken in his views of the
modern world and of the Amish world—views that continue to stir debate
today. Writing the Amishboth recounts and assesses
Hostetler's Amish related work. The first half of the book consists of
four reflective essays—By Donald Kraybill, Simon Bronner, David Weaver-
Zercher, and Hostetler himself—in which Hostetler is the primary
subject. The second half reprints in Chronological order fourteen key
writings by Hostetler with commentaries and annotations by Weaver-
Zercher. Copyright 2005 Pennsylvania German Society | |
