A good introduction to a study of this period which is so rich in writings on Christian living. Reformed Theological Journal In all, this is a superb collection of essays that will become indispensable for teaching Pietism and Protestantism in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It is the best introduction to Pietism in English available today. Lutheran Quarterly A most valuable resource for the study of Pietism, which brings out its international, cross-cultural and many-sided influence on Protestant Christianity. Theology
