Communal Pietism Among Early American Moravians (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781428653184)

""Communal Pietism Among Early American Moravians"" is a scholarly work by Jacob John Sessler that explores the religious practices and beliefs of the Moravian Church in America during the 18th and 19th centuries. The book focuses on the concept of communal piety, which was central to the Moravian faith and involved a deep sense of community, shared spiritual experiences, and a commitment to living a life of service to others. Sessler examines the origins of the Moravian Church, its early history in Europe, and its migration to America, where it established several communal settlements. He also discusses the role of music in the Moravian Church, the church's approach to education, and its missionary activities. The book draws on a wide range of primary sources, including diaries, letters, and other documents, to provide a detailed and insightful analysis of the Moravian Church and its unique religious practices. This book will be of interest to scholars of American religious history, as well as anyone interested in the history of the Moravian Church and its contributions to American culture and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
