Pietism in Germany and North America 1680-1820

'This volume makes a valuable contribution to the revisioning of the eighteenth century, and mediates the recent surge in Pietist studies to a wider, Anglophone audience.' English Historical Review 'Much could be said about each of the essays; however, bound together as a volume, they represent an important collection of recent advances in the historical study of Pietist movements. This volume will be of interest to students of religion, theology, as well as social and cultural history alike.' Sixteenth Century Journal '... the volume serves as a valuable guide to the current state of Pietism research... taken together, these essays amply illustrate the crucial significance of Pietism for the shaping of the North Atlantic world and, by extension, of Western modernity itself.' H-Net 'While the essays vary in length and depth, they explore a broad spectrum of topics within Lutheran, Moravian, and radical Pietism in the Old and New Worlds, and they successfully link questions of religion and piety to problems of migration, gender, economic, and political history.'
