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 figuresâ"including August Hermann Francke, Cotton Mather, and Jonathan Edwardsâ"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.

Industry Reviews

". . . an important and deeply learned work." -Boyd Stanley Schlenther The Proceedings of the Wesley Historical Society "With its transatlantic approach, the volume makes an important contribution to research dealing with the Bible, pietism, and early evangelicalism, and stimulates research into biblical interpretation and on dealing with the Bible among neo-pietists and evangelicals in modern times." -Jan van de Kamp Church History "The Bible in Early Transatlantic Pietism and Evangelicalism is a pioneering work for its thorough exploitation of primary sources revealing how major Pietist and evangelical figures (and others less well known) approached the Bible-sustaining some traditions from earlier Protestantism, responding in part to the intellectual conventions of the Enlightenment, but also promoting innovations of enduring significance in using Scripture." -Mark Noll, author of Protestantism: A Very Short Introduction "The essays in The Bible in Early Transatlantic Pietism and Evangelicalism take a creative and to some extent new or overlooked approach to the relationship between the two diverse, though often parallel, faith traditions, Pietist and evangelical, viewed in transatlantic connection." -Bill Leonard, author of A Sense of the Heart: Christian Religious Experience in the U.S.
