Jeff Bach. Voices of the Turtledoves: The Sacred World of Ephrata. (Pennsylvania German History and Culture Series, number 3; Publications of the Pennsylvania German Society, number 36.) University Park: Pennsylvania State University Press. 2003. Pp. xix, 282. $35.00.

Jeff Bach has crafted an imaginative study of the thinking of Conrad Beissel, Ephrata Cloister's founder and leader, and of the brothers, sisters, and householders of the community. Moreover, his fluency with the German language allows him to mine the vast literature on Ephrata that is beyond the reach of most scholars of North American communal utopias. Bach rightly emphasizes the little-known fact that the sabbatarian movement in colonial America was far more extensive than Ephrata and its satellite community of Snow Hill; congregations were located in Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina as well.
