Voices of the Turtledoves
Winner, 2004 Dale W. Brown Book Award for Outstanding Scholarship in Anabaptist and Pietist Studies Winner, 2005 Outstanding Publication, Communal Studies Association Co-published with the Pennsylvania German Society/Vandenhoeck && Ruprecht The Ephrata Cloister was a community of radical Pietists founded by Georg Conrad Beissel (1691&–1768), a charismatic mystic who had been a journeyman baker in Europe. In 1720 he and a few companions sought a new life in William Penn&’s land of religious freedom, eventually settling on the banks of the Cocalico Creek in what is now Lancaster County. They called their community &“Ephrata,&” after the Hebrew name for the area around Bethlehem. Voices of the Turtledoves is a fascinating look at the sacred world that flourished at Ephrata. In Voices of the Turtledoves, Jeff Bach is the first to draw extensively on Ephrata&’s manuscript resources and on recent archaeological investigations to present an overarching look at the community. He concludes that the key to understanding all the various aspects of life at Ephrata&—its architecture, manuscript art, and social organization&—is the religious thought of Beissel and his co-leaders.

Souvenir Book of the Ephrata Cloister
Excerpt from Souvenir Book of the Ephrata Cloister: Complete History From Its Settlement in 1728 to the Present Time; Included Is the Organization of Ephrata Borough and Other Information of Ephrata Connected With the Cloister Many communities of different types were organized, some less 'than fifty years ago; others have ceased to exist and some seem to be passing out of existence. In the grand old Keystone there seems to have been a laboratory where many social, religious, civic and industrial experiments were tried. Schools, lyceums, historical societies, persons of culture and refinement find in local history an inspiration not easily found in national or general histories. The architect...
