This collection of essays showcases the variety and complexity of
early awakened Protestant biblical interpretation and practice
while highlighting the many parallels, networks, and exchanges that
connected the Pietist and evangelical traditions on both sides of
the Atlantic. A yearning to obtain from the Word spiritual
knowledge of God that was at once experiential and practical lay at
the heart of the Pietist and evangelical quest for true religion,
and it significantly shaped the courses and legacies of these
movements. The myriad ways in which Pietists and evangelicals read,
preached, translated, and practiced the Bible were inextricable
from how they fashioned new forms of devotion, founded
institutions, engaged the early Enlightenment, and made sense of
their world. This volume provides breadth and texture to the role
of Scripture in these related religious traditions. The
contributors probe an assortment of primary source material from
various confessional, linguistic, national, and regional traditions
and feature well-known figures-including August Hermann Francke,
Cotton Mather, and Jonathan Edwards-alongside lesser-known lay
believers, women, people of color, and so-called radicals and
separatists. Pioneering and collaborative, this volume contributes
fresh insight into the history of the Bible and the entangled
religious cultures of the eighteenth-century Atlantic world. Along
with the editors, the contributors to this volume include Ruth
Albrecht, Robert E. Brown, Crawford Gribben, Bruce Hindmarsh,
Kenneth P. Minkema, Adriaan C. Neele, Benjamin M. Pietrenka, Isabel
Rivers, Douglas H. Shantz, Peter Vogt, and Marilyn J. Westerkamp.
