| book description |

The clash of modernity and an Amish buggy might be the first image that comes to oneâ€™s mind when imagining Lancaster, Pennsylvania, today. But in the early to mid-eighteenth century, Lancaster stood apart as an active and religiously diverse, ethnically complex, and bustling city. On the eve of the American Revolution, Lancasterâ€™s population had risen to nearly three thousand inhabitants; it stood as a center of commerce, industry, and trade. While the German-speaking populationâ€”Anabaptists as well as German Lutherans, Moravians, and German Calvinistsâ€”made up the majority, about one-third were English-speaking Anglicans, Catholics, Presbyterians, Quakers, Calvinists, and other Christian groups. A small group of Jewish families also lived in Lancaster, though they had no synagogue. Carefully mining historical records and documents, from tax records to church membership rolls, Mark HÃ¤berlein confirms that religion in Lancaster was neither on the decline nor rapidly changing; rather, steady and deliberate growth marked a diverse religious population.
