As a theocracy, Zion City maintained a well-disciplined community where life was based upon Dowie's interpretations of Old Testament regulations of moral and religious matters, and by 1905, it had grown to six thousand Dowietes from around the world, many attracted by Dowie's phenomenal healing ministry. This in-depth look at Zion City is not a study of Dowie the man but of the greater Dowie era, with the city itself as the focus of the work.

Although less famous than Israel's cooperative agricultural settlements, the kibbutzim and moshavim, Israeli urban worker cooperatives have an equally long and rich history. Well over a thousand such organizations have been established in what is now Israel since early in this century. This book provides a historical, social, and economic analysis of contemporary urban worker cooperatives, focusing on processes affecting their formation and dissolution, their use of nonmember labor, and the evolution of their democratic decision-making practices over time. Raymond Russell examines these cooperatives for the light they can shed on worker ownerships and worker cooperatives in general, and on Israeli society in particular. Applying a range of sociological and economic theories to examine the dynamics of these organizations over time, he finds that both their formation and their later development have been strongly influenced by the uniquely utopian social and economic conditions that prevailed in Jewish Palestine in the first half of the twentieth century.

In 1830 Joseph Smith founded the Mormon Church. He incorporated communal economics and a geographic gathering place, known as Zion, as some of its core doctrinal tenets. Throughout the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth centuries, these principles changed and morphed as they came into contact with American culture and economy. This work traces changes to doctrine by surveying church publications, including periodicals and newspapers, and statements of church leaders, thus capturing institutional voices that were considered most authoritative. It concludes that in the first decades of its existence, Mormons expected that Zion would form as a result of violence and catastrophe that would befall the United States. At the end of the nineteenth century, church leaders sanitized these narratives by suggesting that the church might purchase Zion through tithing funds. During the twentieth century, after Utah achieved statehood, Mormons assimilated into American culture, resulting in increased patriotism and respect for the US president, integration into the national capitalist economy, and expansion into a global church. Each of these changes altered principles that were once considered fundamental to Zion theology. Finally, in the midst of the Great Depression, Mormons established a church welfare system to isolate members from the National Recovery Act dole. The Security Program, as it was called, adopted the language and mythos traditionally associated with Zion, but eschewed its foundational principles, including communal economy and gathering to a geographic center. Instead, leaders associated Zion almost exclusively with the institutional church as it was, rather than encouraging members to embrace the doctrines that first defined its utopian aspirations.

Zion did not spring up by chance along a rolling river or upon a hilltop. The land in which Zion City planted its roots was sought out by a surveying team and then purchased by Dr. John Alexander Dowie for the sole purpose of building a religious utopia. Before the first spade of soil was turned, attention was given to every detail, from utilities to commercial areas and educational institutions and (most importantly) the temple. In less than a decade, Dowie and his followers built a self-sufficient theocracy that sheltered its inhabitants from the outside world. Indeed, Zion boasts a unique history and is a most intriguing study in the successes and failures of a planned city of God.

Utopian ventures are worth close attention, to help us understand why some succeed and others fail, for they offer hope for an improved life on earth. Utopias and Utopians is a comprehensive guide to utopian communities and their founders. Some works look at literary utopias or political utopias, etc., and others examine the utopias of only one country: this work examines utopias from antiquity to the present and surveys utopian efforts around the world. Of more than 600 alphabetically arranged entries roughly half are descriptions of utopian ventures; the other half are biographies of those who were involved. Entries are followed by a list of sources and a general bibliography concludes the volume.
