Brill - A Companion to German Pietism, 1660-1800 (Vol. 55)

A Companion to German Pietism, 1660-1800, provides a comprehensive look at recent scholarship regarding the Pietism movement. As part of Brill's Companions to the Christian Tradition series, this volume examines the movement's impact on both sides of the Atlantic. Researchers and students can explore the origins of early modern German Pietism, which emerged in the late 17th century within the Reformed and Lutheran traditions. The text covers the fundamental shifts in German Protestantism, including the rise of personal renewal, the concept of new birth, millennialism, and the development of women-dominated conventicles. By utilizing sources in German, Dutch, and English, this companion offers a broad perspective on the historical and theological shifts of the era. It serves as an essential resource for understanding how this movement introduced new paradigms to the religious landscape of the German Empire.
