The Jewish Self-Portrait in European and American Literature
The articles in this collection originated from an international symposium at the University of Haifa and centre around a major topic in German, European and American literature, i.e. the way in which Jewish self-definition, both positive and negative, has materialized as a product of the tensions between secular culture and society on the one hand, and Jewish tradition and religion on the other. The broad range of authors (most of them of German-speaking origin) necessarily results in an almost equally broad range of answers to this central question. The volume is dedicated to the memory of the Israeli literary scholar Chaim Shoham.

The Pietist Impulse in Christianity
Pietism is a reform movement originating among German Lutherans in the 17th century. It focused on personal faith, reacting against Lutheran Church's emphasis on doctrine and theology over Christian living. The movement quickly expanded, exerting anenormous influence on various forms of Christianity, and became concerned with social and educational matters. Indeed, Piestists showed a strong interest in issues of social and ecclesial reform, the nature of history and historical inquiry, the shape and purpose of theology and theological education, the missional task of the church, and social justice and political engagement. Though, the movement remained largely misunderstood, especially in An...
Literatur und Sprache des Pietismus
Die Wirkungen des Pietismus als der wichtigsten Reformbewegung des deutschen Protestantismus, der im 17. und 18. Jahrhundert die Mehrheit der Bevölkerung erfasst hat, auf die deutschsprachige Literatur zwischen Sturm und Drang und Romantik sind in Umrissen erforscht und bekannt. Sie erklären grundlegende Unterschiede gegenüber den europäischen Nachbarkulturen, die spezifische Eigenart der deutschen Aufklärung, erste Anstöße zu konfessioneller Toleranz, auch gegenüber den Juden, Traditionen empfindsamer Innigkeit, Herzenssprache und inspirativ-ekstatischer Poetologie. Gegenüber den theologischen sind aber literaturwissenschaftliche Zugriffe auf das pietistische Schrifttum selbst, auf...
An Introduction to German Pietism
An up-to-date portrait of a defining moment in the Christian story—its beginnings, worldview, and cultural significance. Winner of the Dale W. Brown Book Award of the Young Center for Anabaptists and Pietist Studies at Elizabethtown College An Introduction to German Pietism provides a scholarly investigation of a movement that changed the history of Protestantism. The Pietists can be credited with inspiring both Evangelicalism and modern individualism. Taking into account new discoveries in the field, Douglas H. Shantz focuses on features of Pietism that made it religiously and culturally significant. He discusses the social and religious roots of Pietism in earlier German Radicalism and s...
Between Sardis and Philadelphia
This is the first monograph to examine the complex life of the Reformed Philadelphian court preacher Conrad BrAske (1660-1713). Chapters consider his experiences as a student at Marburg University, as educational traveler, as proponent of a millenarian mindset and his conflicts with Johann Konrad Dippel and the Elberfeld Classis.
Medizin- und kulturgeschichtliche Konnexe des Pietismus
In der Medizin und Pharmazie hat die religiöse Reformbewegung des Pietismus ebenso profunde Wirkungen hinterlassen wie in Gesellschaft, Literatur, Sprache und Musik. Was heute als "sanfte Medizin", ganzheitlich reflektierte Verantwortungsethik, psychosomatische Heilungsansätze bezeichnet wird, hat man hier vorbereitet gesehen. In Frankfurt am Main, Wirkungsort Johann Christian Senckenbergs wie des jungen Goethe, hat die Historische Kommission zur Erforschung des Pietismus erstmals eine Tagung durchgeführt, die auf Grundhaltungen, Argumente und weitervermittelte frühneuzeitlich alchimistisch-sympathetische Traditionen bei 'erweckten' Hof-, Land- oder Stadtärzten und bei Laienmedizinern f...
A Companion to German Realism, 1848-1900
This volume of new essays by leading scholars treats a representative sampling of German realist prose from the period 1848 to 1900, the period of its dominance of the German literary landscape. It includes essays on familiar, canonical authors -- Stifter, Freytag, Raabe, Fontane, Thomas Mann -- and canonical texts, but also considers writers frequently omitted from traditional literary histories, such as Luise Mühlbach, Friedrich Spielhagen, Louise von François, Karl May, and Eugenie Marlitt. The introduction situates German realism in the context of both German literary history and of developments in other European literatures, and surveys the most prominent critical studies of ninteenth...
German Radical Pietism
Pietism is increasingly recognized as the most important movement in Protestant Christianity since the Reformation of the sixteenth century. Simply put, early Protestant reformers were concerned with reforming the doctrine and beliefs of Christians whereas the Pietiest leaders were concerned with reforming the lives and behavior of Christians. This, coupled with other disagreements, led to calls for separation, which in turn gave rise to the movement best described as radical Pietism. German Radical Pietism introduces the English reader to the research of the major contemporary scholar of radical Pietism, Hans Schneider. Originally appearing in the comprehensive study of the history of Pieti...
