This book was released on 2011-08 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Special volume celebrating a 250-year-old American church body In 1748 six Lutheran pastors and laity from ten congregations gathered in Philadelphia under German missionary pastor Henry Melchior Muhlenberg to form the Ministerium of Pennsylvania the first Lutheran church body in North America. These early American Lutherans stood at the crossroads of Lutheran orthodoxy, pietism, and rationalism as they faced the very new, very American challenge of forging a missional, confessional identity within their increasingly pluralistic and multi-religious society. Now, more than 250 years later, this choice selection of essays, addresses, and other pieces celebrates the ongoing legacy of the Ministerium and will allow churches in the twenty-first century to glean new wisdom from a pioneering colonial church body.

Download or read book Halle Pietism Colonial North America and the Young United States written by Hans-Jürgen Grabbe and published by Franz Steiner Verlag Wiesbaden GmbH. This book was released on 2008 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The significant cultural, theological, and economic impulses originating from the pietist- influenced Francke Foundations in Halle had a profound effect on colonial British North America and the young American Republic. The Hallensian networks as well as their connections to and influences within North America are analyzed not only in the Atlantic context, but also in terms of the repercussions felt both in Germany and the United States during the 19th century. The contributions comprising this collection of essays situate Hallensian Pietism and Halle-influenced Lutheran German Americans within their respective larger historical contexts. Two such examples are the ethnic dimension of Franklin's nationalism as well as the influence of Lutheran doctrine and Pietism on the founding of Methodism. Additionally, there are several micro-studies concerned with the interdependencies between pastors from Halle and the American social surroundings into which they were thrust. The unraveling of the connections between Halle and North America at the dawn of the 19th century is illustrated in terms of the waning dissemination of knowledge in the natural sciences, above all pharmaceutical knowledge, stemming from Halle. Von den pietistisch gepragten Franckeschen Stiftungen in Halle gingen bedeutende kulturelle, theologische und wirtschaftliche Impulse aus, die auf das kolonialzeitliche Britisch-Nordamerika und die junge amerikanische Republik einwirkten. Hallesche Netzwerke, Verbindungen nach und Einflusse in Nordamerika werden im atlantischen Kontext, aber auch in der Nachwirkung sowohl in Deutschland als auch in den Vereinigten Staaten des 19. Jahrhunderts untersucht. Die Beitrage des Sammelbandes ordnen den halleschen Pietismus und die von Halle gepragten lutherischen Deutsch-Amerikaner jeweils in grossere zeitgeschichtliche Zusammenhange ein: Es geht z.B. um die ethnische Dimension des Nationalismus bei Franklin sowie um die Einflusse der lutherischen Lehre und des Pietismus auf den Methodismus. Hinzu kommen Mikrostudien zu Interdependenzen zwischen halleschen Pastoren und amerikanischem Umfeld. Die Lockerung der Verbindungen zwischen Halle und Nordamerika nach der Wende zum 19. Jahrhundert wird anhand der nachlassenden Verbreitung des aus Halle stammenden naturwissenschaftlichen, insbesondere pharmazeutischen Wissens aufgezeigt.
