Faith and practice in Amish life

The Amish Way examines Amish religious experience through spiritual practices and the cultural context in which they take shape. Its holistic approach draws on Amish people’s own accounts, giving space to how they describe their faith and daily religious life. The book also considers what these practices might mean beyond the Amish community, connecting a study of a distinct tradition with questions about its relevance in the wider world. Together, those elements make the subject not only Amish spirituality itself, but also the relationship between faith, community, and everyday practice.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Amish faith, spirituality, and religious practices.
  • Those exploring Christianity and the cultural context of religious traditions.
  • Readers seeking an account that incorporates Amish people’s own descriptions of their religious experience.
