Reseña del editor
This book is both an attempt to understand the role which ritual has played for five centuries in the evolution of the Hutterian culture, and a refinement of our understanding of ritual itself. The first section of the book describes the history of the Hutterites as a wandering and persecuted people. The symbols which emerge from the historical era link the first half and the second half of the work together. The second half of the book is an examination of the Hutterite expansion process of today and the role which ritual plays in it. In the epilogue the author analyzes the evolution of a self-simplifying system.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. First Edition. 272 pages. Bibliography. Index. "The Hutterian Brethren are the most successful example of communal society historically known. Although their numbers have fluctuated widely mainly due to persecution and migration over the past 465 years, with the exception of several brief lapses into collective apostasy, they have sustained a communal existence throught that period." - Prologue. Former library copy with relatively few markings and very light wear to maroon boards lettered in gilt. Binding tight. No dust jacket, apparently as issued. A quality copy. Artikel-Nr. 453h4355
