Young Center For Anabaptist And Pietist Studies At Elizabethtown Collegeholmes County, Ohio, Is Home To The Largest And Most Diverse Amish Community In The World. Yet, Surprisingly, It Remains Relatively Unknown Compared To Its Famous Cousin In Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Charles E. Hurst And David L. Mcconnell Conducted Seven Years Of Fieldwork, Including Interviews With Over 200 Residents, To Understand The Dynamism That Drives Social Change And Schism Within The Settlement, Where Amish Enterprises And Nonfarming Employment Have Prospered.

They Find That Selfmade Millionaires Work Alongside Struggling Dairy Farmers; Successful Female Entrepreneurs Live Next Door To Stayathome Mothers; And Teenagers Both Embrace And Reject The Comingofage Ritual, Rumspringa.An Amish Paradox Captures The Complexity And Creativity Of The Holmes County Amish, Dispelling The Image Of The Amish As A Vestige Of A Bygone Era And Showing How They Reinterpret Tradition As Modernity Encroaches On Their Distinct Way Of Life.
