Ebook: A Companion to German Pietism, 1660-1800

'A Companion to German Pietism' offers an introduction to recent Pietism scholarship on both sides of the Atlantic, in German, Dutch, and English. The focus is upon early modern German Pietism, a movement that arose in the late 17th century German Empire within both Reformed and Lutheran traditions. It introduced a new paradigm to German Protestantism that included personal renewal, new birth, women-dominated conventicles, and millennialism.

The 'Introduction' offers a concise overview of modern research into German Pietism. The 'Companion' is then organized according to the different worlds of Pietist existence — intellectual, devotional, literary-cultural, and social-political.
