Author Description

"Almost no research has been done until now on the zealous Hutterite bishop Andreas Ehrenpreis and the Hutterites in the seventeenth century. To bridge the gap between the much-studied sixteenth century and the neglected later centuries, Wes Harrison has written the first monograph on Ehrenpreis... Harrison's revised dissertation is a valuable source in research on Hutterite history. It provides good insight into a crucial period of Hutterite history in the seventeenth century. Andreas Ehrenpreis and Hutterite Faith and Practice lays the foundation for further work on Ehrenpreis' era: its social history, theology and the relationship of the Hutterites to other groups in Moravia and in the Holy Roman Empire."- Astrid von Schlachta, Director, Mennonite Research Center and lecturer at the University of Regensburg, Germany.
