An Embassy Besieged
Here for the first time in print is the story of a small group who dared to confront Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich with the love of Jesus Christ. Avoiding covert resistance on the one hand and complicity and compromise on the other, the Rhon Bruderhof, under the courageous leadership of Eberhard Arnold, boldly witnessed to the politics of the Kingdom of God in Nazi Germany. Although "less than a gnat to an elephant," in Arnold's words, they believed that as God's ambassadors love could overcome hatred-even of Adolf Hitler himself. This is an amazing account of a community who stayed true to the nonviolent way of the Cross, and how, despite relentless Nazi opposition, God protected and victoriously led them along the way.
The Kellers of Talheim and New Berlin
Josef Keller (1820-1902) was born at Talheim, a village now in Baden-Würettemberg, Germany, the son of Valentin and Maria Fluck Keller. He married Johanna Schurhammer in 1843, probably in the parish church at Blumenfeld. They had fourteen children, 1844-1865. Josef's half brother immigrated to the United States in 1854, and the members of the Josef Keller family followed, 1867-1881. Josef immigrated in 1876, after his wife's death. The family settled first in the area of New Berlin, Sangamon County, Illinois. Some later moved to Cincinnati, Ohio; South Bend, Indiana; and elsewhere. Josef Keller died at New Berlin at the home of his daughter, Kreszentia. Descendants lived in Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, and elsewhere.
Die Macht des Gedächtnisses: Entstehung und Wandel kommunaler Schriftkultur im spätmittelalterlichen Augsburg
Die Studie eröffnet einen neuen Blick auf den Entstehungsprozess kommunaler Schriftkultur in einer europäischen Großstadt des Spätmittelalters. Dabei zeigt die Geschichte der umfangreichen Überlieferung Augsburgs, wie mehrere Generationen städtischer Autoritäten im Zuge wachsender Emanzipation zunehmend auf Schriftlichkeit angewiesen waren und eigene Bedürfnisse der Archivierung ausprägten. Die Verschriftlichung war ein komplexer Prozess, der wichtige Lebensbereiche und Teile der städtischen Gesellschaft in unterschiedlicher Zeit und Intensität erfasste. Weniger als bisher angenommen ging es dabei um die pragmatische Effektivierung des Regierungshandelns. Die Antriebskraft der Verschriftlichung im Spätmittelalter entsprang einem wachsenden Bedürfnis nach Kontrolle und Überprüfbarkeit.

Brothers Unite
Why and how did a twentieth-century community unite with the Hutterites, a 450-year-old peace church? Here is the story, from the exploratory letters that led to Eberhard Arnold's discovery of existing Hutterian colonies, to vivid journal entries written during his year-long visit among them.
