Johann Friedrich König
English summary: The Theologia positiva acroamatica, one of the most widely used textbooks for the study of dogmatics in the 17th and 18th centuries, gives a clear and concise view of classic post-Reformation dogmatics. In this work, which is being published at the same time as the edition of the text by Johann Friedrich Konig, Andreas Stegmann describes Konig's life, provides an introduction to the teaching of dogmatics in the post-Reformation era and shows how the Theologia positiva was a part of the textbook literature which originated with this teaching.

Names of Foreigners Who Took the Oath of Allegiance to the Province and State of Pennsylvania, 1727-1775. with the Foreign Arrivals, 1786-1808
In 1727, the Pennsylvania Provincial Council passed a law requiring all "foreign" immigrants (i.e. those of non-British origin) to swear an oath of allegiance to the Crown. Lists of these immigrants were originally assembled for publication in the Pennsylvania Archives (Ser. 2, Vol. XVII), and they are reprinted here without change. This work, then, is an exhaustive list of "foreigners"-mostly Germans-who immigrated into the Province and, later, the State of Pennsylvania between the years 1727 and 1775 and again during the years 1786-1808. More to the point, it is a collection of ships' passenger lists, in many cases the lists being transcribed in entirety, with Captains' lists of passengers running up to the relatively late year of 1808. Along with the full name of the immigrant, including the names of all males over the age of sixteen, since that was the age they were obliged to take the oath, such information is given as name of ship, date of arrival, port of origin, and, in some instances, ages, names of wives, and names of children. An exhaustive index of surnames, running to more than 100 pages, contains about 35,000 references.
The New Science and Jesuit Science
This volume makes an important contribution toward a nuanced appreciation of the Jesuits' interaction with "modernity", and a greater recognition of their contribution to the mathematization of natural philosophy and experimental science. The six essays provide a cross-section of the complex Jesuit encounter with the mathematical sciences during the 17th century.
My Kingdom Is Not of This World: 300 Years of the Amish, 1683-1983
Originally printed in German in 1993, this updated and revised version has been translated into English.

A short portion covers the Amish in North America. This is the most comprehensive book on the Amish in Europe. (401pp. color illus. index. Masthof Press, 2013.)
