The Amish
 The Amish community in the U.S. may be small—at last count it was about 231,000—but it has always fascinated the outside world, including fellow Christians. The community grew by about 84 percent between 1992 and 2008, and drew worldwide headlines during the October 2006 shootings in Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania.
In addition to Christianity Today's coverage of the Amish, Christian History devoted an issue to the community (along with the Mennonites and Brethren) and Books & Culture examined Old Order Amish and Mennonite schools.
