Seller's Description:
Very Good. A study of the status of the child in the isolated German Baptist Brethren subculture and the principles of childrearing used by the sect. "Dunker is a moniker for a people of faith that originated in 1708 near the village of Schwarzenau, Germany, along the Eder River. Originally, calling themselves Neue Taufer (New Baptists) in order to better distinguish themselves from older Anabaptist groups, such as the Mennonites and the Amish. Typical of the derisive labeling experience of many religious groups, they were called Dunkers by outsiders because they fully immersed or “dunked” their baptismal candidates in nearby streams, three complete dunkings; a particular method of baptism that completely distinguished them from the “sprinkling” Lutherans and Methodists, their kindred “pouring” Mennonites, and even the single dunk Baptists." Includes chapters on values; organization and the child; parents; family; value transference; discipline and more. An ex-library copy with usual library stamps, pocket, etc. Tight binding. No chips, tears, creases or written inscriptions. Front coverboard is slightly bowed. With 25 black and white illustrative plates. Size: Sm 4to (9" to 11"). 247 pp.
