Pilgrims on the Silk Road : a Muslim-Christian encounter in Khiva / Walter Ratliff. by Ratliff, Walter R. Wipf & Stock, c2010. Call #: 289.7 R236p Subjects Mennonites -- Russia.   Mennonites -- Asia, Central.   Millennialism -- Russia.   Mennonites -- Historiography.   Christianity and other religions -- Islam.   Islam -- Relations -- Christianity.   Russia -- Emigration and immigration. ISBN:  9781606081334 (pbk.) 1606081330 (pbk.) Description:  xviii, 293 p. : ill., maps, ports. ; 23 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (p. 279-286) and index. Summary:  They were seeking religious freedom and the Second Coming of Christ in Central Asia. They found themselves in the care of a Muslim king. During the 1880s, Mennonites from Russia made a treacherous journey to the Silk Road kingdom of Khiva. Both Uzbek and Mennonite history seemed to set the stage for ongoing religious and ethnic discord. Yet their story became an example of friendship and cooperation between Muslims and Christians. This book challenges conventional wisdom about the trek to Central Asia and the settlement of Ak Metchet. It shows how the story, long associated with failed End Time prophecies, is being recast in the light of new evidence. This book highlights the role of Ak Metchet as refuge for those fleeing Soviet oppression, and the continuing influence of the episode more than twelve decades later.
