Focusing on the historical significance of Pietism, this collection examines the German-speaking Pietistic groups that migrated to North America in the long eighteenth century. It highlights the movement's evangelical and diverse characteristics, drawing parallels with Puritanism. By presenting essays from various scholars, the volume offers an interdisciplinary perspective, situating Pietism within the broader Atlantic context and enhancing the understanding of religious life in both Europe and colonial North America during this period.
