Descriptive Notes

"Most of the essays in this volume had their origin in a conference organized at Emory University in 2004, 'Pietism in Two Worlds: Transmissions of Dissent in Germany and North America, 1680-1820'. Emory's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and the German Historical Institute in Washington, D.C. provided significant funding that made this international conference possible."
