Reviews
Yoder sensitively weaves Francke's sacramental theology into his larger doctrinal structure, set within the biographical contours that surrounded Francke's application of his inheritance from Luther and others in the crucible of pastoral care. A stimulating and provocative advance in understanding Pietism. -Robert Kolb, author of Martin Luther: Confessor of the Faith In this imaginative exploration of the works of August Hermann Francke, Peter Yoder opens up significant new areas for discussion in the understanding of the relationship between God's Word and personal conversion and faith in Pietist circles. This illuminating assessment is bound to provoke discussion and fresh research on Francke himself as well as on the impact of Pietist thinking on the rapidly changing eighteenth-century religious scene. -Irene Dingel, author of Reformation: Zentren - Akteure - Ereignisse Peter Yoder has provided an important analysis of two long-neglected dimensions of August Hermann Francke's version of German Pietism. Francke's affinity for a version of Reformed convictions about both sacraments and 'church' moved both the man and the varieties of Pietism associated with him into post-confessional Protestantism within and especially beyond Europe. -A. G. Roeber, author of Hopes for Better Spouses: Protestant Marriage and Church Renewal in Early Modern Europe, India, and North America This close study of August Hermann Francke's theology is the first anglophone book on Francke in generations, and it is sure to become the new standard text on Francke and Halle Pietism. Yoder's book offers an accessible introduction to Francke and Pietism that will also be rewarding for subject matter experts. -Benjamin Marschke, author of Absolutely Pietist: Patronage, Factionalism, and State-Building in the Early Eighteenth-Century Prussian Army Chaplaincy This study further illumines Francke's distinctive role in shaping Pietist theology and practice. -W. L. Pitts Jr., Choice
