Giving and Receiving Counsel: Mutual Admonition and Life Together in the Hutterite Tradition explores the biblical, theological, and lived foundations of mutual admonition and encouragement in Hutterite life. Drawing on sixteenth-century sources, contemporary experiences, and practical insights, Jesse Hofer reflects on how communities today can more intentionally nurture the spiritual gifts of all members-young and old alike-through a culture of honest conversation and shared discernment. This volume is the 2025 instalment of the Jacob D. Maendel Lectures.
