Jantz\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this study the reader will learn about the origins of the Holdeman Church, beginning in the Dutch Lowlands of the sixteenth century and continuing into the twenty-first century. This narrative history delves into the culture of the Holdeman people and how John Holdeman created a religion in the nineteenth-century United States that attracted a small group of German immigrants from Russia. The book addresses the question of whether the Holdeman people, numbering about twenty-five thousand members in the United States, can resist the temptations of modernity and not only survive but thrive in the twenty-first century. The story is a tribute to their effectiveness in defining themselves and drawing the boundaries of separation in a world of social instability and the breakdown of many traditional norms and values.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 168\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.44 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 28, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67924597768499,"sku":"9798385286720","price":50.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/LKTgOfCJo49798385286720.webp?v=1793832649","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/an-anabaptist-church-confronts-modernity-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
