• W202816306 abstract "From the early 1960s to the late 1980s, A. Hostetler (1918-2001) was the world's premier scholar of life. He assumed that position in 1963, when Johns Hopkins Press published the first edition of his magnum opus, Society. Hostetler's success with Society, coupled with the ever-rising renown of the Old Order Amish, meant that Hostetler would be known from that point forward as an Amish expert. Still, as the following bibliography attests, Hostetler published on a variety of other topics relevant to Anabaptist studies, topics including Mennonite evangelism, Hutterite history and culture, and theoretical reflections on plain and sectarian life. The following bibliography provides testimony to Hostetler's productivity as a writer. Moreover, it attests to his willingness to write on a broad array of topics and publish in a wide variety of venues. From a disciplinary standpoint, most of Hostetler's scholarly writing can be classified as sociology or anthropology, though he occasionally ventured into history and even more often into theology. Indeed, Hostetler's earliest writings (in the early and mid-1940s) were largely theologically oriented. The disciplinary focus of his writing changed, however, in the course of his graduate work in rural sociology in the early 1950s, and most of his scholarly writing in the 1960s and 1970s reflects that shift toward social scientific approaches. Still, Hostetler never lost his willingness to reflect theologically, a willingness exemplified most poignantly by a biblically infused article about farmland preservation, which appeared in Pennsylvania Mennonite Heritage in 1989. Hostetler's topical range correlated to his desire to reach different audiences. On one hand, Hostetler sought to converse with other scholars, publishing his findings in specialized journals such as Ethnology, Population Studies and Rural Sociology. At the same time, Hostetler sought to communicate his academically informed ideas to the general public, an orientation that resulted in the publication of numerous popular booklets and periodical articles. This popular orientation was particularly true with respect to his work on the and, in that regard, cannot be separated from the mid-twentieth-century context in which Hostetler emerged as a scholar: a context in which the were quickly being transformed from a peculiar but little known Pennsylvania German sect into a renowned cultural phenomenon. To be sure, the publicity shy did not seek this attention, and John A., himself born and raised in an home, sympathized with their desire to be left alone. Nonetheless, this cultural and consumerist embrace of the paved the way for Hostetler's work. Whatever the venue, scholarly or popular, Hostetler sought to use his social scientific expertise and his considerable knowledge of life to paint authentic and respectful portraits of his subjects--to inscribe onto readers' minds a narrative that commended the Amish, their style of living and their place in American life. Not surprisingly, Hostetler's high regard for life revealed itself in numerous other ways, most significantly as a measure by which to critique certain aspects of modern American life, including progressive Mennonite life. Hostetler published many more items than appear in this bibliography--if by published we mean that he communicated formally developed ideas to an audience via the spoken or written word. This bibliography, however, operates with a stricter definition of what constitutes a publication. First, it includes only Hostetler's publications that were circulated via text; it does not therefore include his public lectures, conference presentations or sermons that did not make it into print. Also, this bibliography does not include written works (e.g., research reports) that were developed for a specific audience and never made available to a general readership. …" @default.
