Zusammenfassung:"Julius Rubin traces the history of the Bruderhof from their origins in Germany in the 1920s up to the present day, examining the development of Bruderhof theology, religious vocation and church-community, and their troubles associated with the Hutterian Church
Rubin argues that in the attempt to routinize the charisma of the founder's generation, the Bruderhof gradually moved away from the founder's vision, appropriating Hutterian forms of church discipline and social organization, and consolidating power in the hands of a patriarchal leadership that evolved into religious authoritarianism."
"Rubin focuses on the incidence of "religious melancholy" among the Bruderhof. This is an affective disorder that has long been associated with pietistic conversion and is characterized by a sense of abandonment by God."
