Johns Hopkins University Press, 2017. Project MUSE., <a href=" https://muse.jhu.edu/.

Worldwide, languages spo- ken today by minority populations are in a critical situation, with most in serious danger of becoming extinct. Indeed, of the approximately 7,000 lan- guages spoken across the globe, at least half are predicted to lose their native speakers by the turn of the century. Yet Pennsylvania German, spoken by a minuscule 0.08 percent of the U.S. population, is exceptional. Despite the fact that it is an oral vernacular language lacking in any offi cial recognition or support, it thrives today in the United States of America, the heartland of the world’s dominant engine of economic and cultural globalization, whose majority language, English, has become the international lingua franca. And although the linguistic roots of Pennsylvania German lie in central Europe, its speakers have always viewed themselves every bit as American as their English- monolingual neighbors. Pennsylvania Dutch or Pennsylvania German? Language or Dialect? Pennsylvania German (PG) is a North American language that developed during the eighteenth century in colonial Pennsylvania as the result of the immigration of several thousand speakers from mainly southwestern German- speaking Europe, especially the linguistic and cultural area known as the Palatinate (German Pfalz).

  • The Pennsylvania Dutch in the 21St Century
    Plain, Fancy and Fancy-Plain: The Pennsylvania Dutch in the 21st Century Rian Linda Larkin Faculty Advisor: Alex Harris Center for Documentary Studies December 2017 This project was submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate Liberal Studies Program in the Graduate School of Duke University. Copyright by Rian Linda Larkin 2017 Abstract In 1681, William Penn traveled to Europe’s Rhineland-Palatinate and invited Anabaptist and Protestant groups to live and worship freely in Pennsylvania. Over the next century, 111,000 German- speaking men and women sailed to America, many settling in southeastern Pennsylvania.1 During this period, English-speaking residents began to use the term, “Pennsylvania Dutch” to describe the new settlers who spoke Deitsch or Deutsch (German). Today, the term Pennsylvania Dutch conjures visions of bonnets, beards, suspenders and horse- drawn buggies. However, this imagery only applies to the Old Order Anabaptist sects, which constitute less than half of Pennsylvania’s total PA Dutch population.2 3 Therefore, this project will examine and document four Pennsylvania Dutch communities in order to present a more accurate cultural portrait and contextualize the Pennsylvania Dutch populace in the 21st century, from anachronistic traditionalists to groups that have fully integrated into modern society. The project documents the following religious communities: the Old Order Amish, Horning Mennonites, Moravians and Lutherans of southeastern Pennsylvania. Each section includes a historical overview, an interview with a community member and photographs taken on-location. I conclude that church-imposed restrictions and geographical location shaped each group’s distinctive character and impacted how the groups evolved in the modern world.

    Book Reviews Anabaptist Essentials: Ten Signs of a Unique Christian Faith. By Palmer Becker. Harrisonburg, Va.: Herald Press. 2017. $12.99. Anabaptist Essentials is a book-length expansion of Palmer Becker’s popular and influential What is an Anabaptist Christian?, a booklet widely disseminated by Mennonite Church USA, Mennonite Church Canada, and their denominational organs. Becker takes as his frame of reference the Confession of Faith in a Mennonite Perspective adopted by these bodies in 1995 (13). Within this particular stream of Anabaptist Christianity, Becker self-consciously conceptualizes Anabaptism in the tradition of Harold S. Bender’s 1943 statement, “The Anabaptist Vision.” Like Bender, Becker has chosen to define Anabaptist distinctiveness around three loci: “Jesus is the center of our faith. Community is the center of our life. Reconciliation is the center of our work” (9). Anabaptist Essentials is Becker’s bid to add depth and subtlety to his accounts of Jesus, community, and reconciliation. Sandwiched between a brief history of Christianity and a concluding reflection on the work of the Holy Spirit, the meat of Anabaptist Essentials is organized into three major sections, each containing three chapters concerning the application of its respective cardinal value to topics of interest in Anabaptist life and thought. Becker’s chapters on Jesus-centered faith touch down in the familiar territories of discipleship, Christ-centered biblical hermeneutics, and the Lordship of Jesus. This section hangs neatly together: Christianity is primarily about following Jesus; an ethical Christ-centered approach to Scripture will yield practical guidance to this end; and the confession “Jesus is Lord” is rightly understood as a commitment to following Jesus in daily life.

Until high-school graduation I lived in a small town located in Berks County in southeastern Pennsylvania; since my marriage I have made my permanent home in Germany. After moving to the region close to the Palatinate I heard German-dialect words that carried me back to my roots. At Christmas and birthday times when secrets were very important my maternal grandparents spoke "Pennsylvania Dutch", a distorted form of German. Having heard too little of the language, I never learned to understand and speak it. Nevertheless, I do remember a few single words. It was not until I moved to Heidelberg that I once again heard potatoes called Grummbiere rather than Kartoffeln in German. If one so will, that was the ignition for my curiosity concerning the Amish. Being an educator, I thought it impossible that people willingly choose to limit their education.
