Offered in 0 more formatsKatz and Lehr offer a detailed view of Hutterite communities, communal societies that the authors say have been subjected to unwarranted criticism in recent years. In their second edition, they add new scholarship and update and correct some of the information contained in the first edition. The book explores the history of the Hutterites, their beliefs, social systems, daily life, economy, relationships with neighbors and host communities, and how they are coping with globalization and new technologies. The book will attract a variety of readers, from those interested in North American religious history to others with an interest in communal living.

Surviving for over five hundred years, the Hutterites have created the world's most successful communal society. In the past, the colony was an "ark," isolated from the secular world. Today, Hutterite colonies face challenges from globalization and the advent of new technologies. A recent reality TV show and an inflammatory book by former members have brought an unwelcome spotlight to the community. Inside the Ark presents quite a different picture from these sensational offerings. As the authors note in this new edition, "it is easy to find fault with any social organization, less easy to analyze it from a dispassionate standpoint." In this award-winning book, they offer a thoughtful and thorough analysis of Hutterite society and seek to understand a complex and often misunderstood community.
