The German Pietists of Provincial Pennsylvania, 1694-1708 (1895)

Julius Friedrich Sachse

""The German Pietists of Provincial Pennsylvania, 1694-1708"" is a historical account written by Julius Friedrich Sachse in 1895. The book documents the lives and experiences of a group of German Pietists who settled in Pennsylvania during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The Pietists were a religious movement that emphasized personal piety and a direct relationship with God, and they faced significant challenges in adapting to life in the New World. Sachse draws on a variety of primary sources, including letters, diaries, and church records, to provide a detailed and nuanced portrait of this community. He covers topics such as their religious beliefs and practices, their interactions with other settlers and Native Americans, and their efforts to establish a cohesive community in a new and unfamiliar environment. Overall, ""The German Pietists of Provincial Pennsylvania"" offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of some of the earliest German settlers in America and sheds light on the challenges they faced in pursuing their religious beliefs in a new world.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
