This is a ground-breaking study of Andreas Ehrenpreis, leading 17^th century bishop and "second founder" of the Hutterites. Wes Harrison’s study makes it clear that Ehrenpreis’ importance goes far beyond insuring survival for the Hutterites. By reiterating, restating, and rebuilding Hutterites’ beliefs, core communitarianism, and patterns of authority, Ehrenpreis set the course of Hutterite history every since.
