Marty, Christian CenturyA muchneeded authoritative study.J. L. Houlden, Times Literary Supplement'Those with any historical bent will be intrigued by the way a story usually overlaid with thick layers of theological speculation is unraveled. . . . And those who simply have an interest in how groups form in any era . . . will be fascinated by this case study of one particular community that has ramifications for understanding all other communities.'Robert McAfee Brown, New York Times Book Review 'Should fascinate any reader with an interest in the history of human thought.'PhoebeLou Adams, Atlantic Monthly
