Review # 1 was written on 2012-02-23 00:00:00 Majd Abboud This was part of my research for my novel-in-progress, Perfecting Eden, which is a fictional account of the lives of my ancestors in the Oneida Community. Oneida's founder, J.H. Noyes, viewed his commune in competition with the Shakers and the Mormons, and this book enabled me to compare the specifics of each sects outlook and practices.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-02-06 00:00:00 Dirk Poppe I read this book when researching background information for my first novel (2nd and 6th Circles of Hell). Interesting to read. Non-fiction that gave me an insight into a side of colonial religions not easily found elsewhere. Good bibliography for further reading.
