In the four decades covered, American Mennonites nearly doubled in membership. Their encounters with Protestant revivalism, organizational techniques, modernism, and World War I affected each group differently. Volume 3.

Paul Toews examines ways progressive Mennonites have slowed their absorption into American culture through creating institutional systems, refining and rearticulating ideologies, building ecumenical alliances, and developing a service and missional activism. Meanwhile, the Amish have formed a creative set of adaptive strategies that permit economic integration and social isolation.

An in-depth look at how Mennonites nad Amish were able to become a more visible and respected people than ever before during their more than 300 years in America. Volume 4.

As their frame of reference shifted from the rural to the professional, many of these writers assumed key roles in leading and shaping Mennonite institutions. For all of them, serviceÑto church, community, worldÑwas an imperative. In their time of social change, Anabaptism offered these sixteen individuals an explanation of what they believed and how to live.

These remarkable accounts reflect the experiences and stories similar to those of hundreds of Mennonites whose lives were changed during this disruptive era. By confronting their own beliefs and faith practices, they gradually transformed the Mennonite church. No more could Mennonites be "the quiet in the land.

Written originally in German and published in the Canadian Mennonite journal "Der Bote," Janzen's little book is part confession, part memoir, and part critique of the life he experienced in the Mennonite colonies in the Russia of his youth. Available now for the first time in English, Jacob H Janzen's thoughtful reflections "lift the veil" on a unique period of Mennonite history.

Marlene Epp explores women's roles within the contests of immigration, family, church life, work, education, and social life. Comparing how Mennonites dictate women's "place" within society with how women actually behave, Epp finds a contradiction between behavioral ideals and practicalities. Also women's responses to dictates about their proper place vary widely, unsettling a clear delineation of their roles. Using diaries, oral histories, genealogies and memoirs, Epp presents a fascinating story of Canadian Mennonite women.
