This book explores the trans-Atlantic history of Protestant traditions of communalism ¿ communities of shared property. The sixteenth-century Reformation may have destroyed monasticism in northern Europe but Protestant Christianity has not always denied common property. Between 1650 and 1850 a range of Protestant groups adopted communal goods frequently after crossing the Atlantic to North America: the Ephrata community the Shakers the Harmony Society the Community of True Inspiration and others. Early Mormonism also developed with a communal dimension challenging its surrounding Protestant culture of individualism and the free market. In a series of focussed and survey studies this book recovers the trans-Atlantic networks and narratives ideas and influences which shaped Protestant communalism across two centuries of early modernity.
