"Rod Janzen and Max Stanton's The Hutterites in North America is so well researched and carefully written that it supersedes John A. Hostetler's 1974 classic treatise, Hutterite Society. . . Janzen and Stanton have succeeded in producing a monograph representative of all four Hutterian groups, within the context of the larger Anabaptist tradition and the experience of North American communal groups generally."—Leonard Gross, Mennonite Quarterly Review

"It becomes clear as one reads this book that both authors have not simply viewed Hutterite colonies but have immersed themselves in Hutterite life, visiting many different colonies and doing so repeatedly. That lengthy study has opened a wealth of personal sources that would not be available to most other scholars. This book will be the new standard on Hutterites."—Timothy Miller, University of Kansas
