Between 1700 and 1850 there arose an unusual phenomenon in our country: the search for Utopia! Over 100 communities sprang up claiming thousands of followers. Many of them were a result of the Pietist views of disenchanted Lutherans. It is likely that some of our own church members have visited the fascinating landmarks they left behind. This course takes a trip back in time to visit five of these communal societies, exposing the Great Lie that each of them claimed: A HEAVEN ON EARTH!
