Steven Nolt
Steven M. Nolt (born 1968 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania) is professor of history at Goshen College and author of twelve books, most of which focus on Amish and Mennonite history and culture. He is a frequent source for journalists and other researching Anabaptist groups. He was often quoted in the aftermath of the 2006 Amish school shooting at Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania.
