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 Pietism that appeared in the 1990s, Schneider's research considers historical treatment of the major figures, movements, and ideas of the radical wing of German Pietism in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. These developments are set in their historical and social contexts, thereby providing the first definitive treatment in English of this movement as a whole. Radical Pietism's seminal role in the emergence of modern religious communities_including Quakers, Brethren, and precursors of contemporary United Methodism, as well as a range of perfectionist communities in early American history_has only begun to be adequately assessed, and this study should be a critical resource in furthering that research. This work is one of the few studies available in English that addresses the important German historical work on Pietism from the late twentieth century. A definitive bibliography of recent research in radical Pietism is included to provide further reading on this important topic.

Gottfried Arnold (1666-1714) ist vor allem durch seine ''Unparteiische Kirchen- und Ketzerhistorie'' (1699/1700) bekannt geworden, die in der neuzeitlichen Geschichts- und Kirchengeschichtsschreibung eine wichtige Etappe markiert. Bereits die Vorlesung bei Antritt seiner Gießener Geschichtsprofessur (1697) und bisher unbekannte Disputationsthesen (1697) lassen programmatische Weichenstellungen erkennen. Die Texte werden im lateinischen Wortlaut ediert und kommentiert und erstmals ins Deutsche übertragen. Ergänzt werden sie durch weitere Dokumente zu seiner Gießener Zeit. Arnolds "Gedoppelter Lebenslauf", dessen erster Teil von ihm selbst entworfen, dann nach seinem Tod von Freunden fortgeschrieben wurde, ist ein aufschlussreicher Text für die pietistische Biographik und Autobiographik.

Der erste Band der "Gesammelten Aufsätze" von Hans Schneider (geb. 1941) umfasst seine wichtigsten Beiträge zum "radikalen Pietismus", darunter einige bislang schwer zugängliche englischsprachige Veröffentlichungen. In den vergangenen drei Jahrzehnten hat der Marburger Kirchenhistoriker dieses Forschungsfeld maßgeblich geprägt. Neben einem wegweisenden Forschungsbericht versammelt der Band personenbezogene Beiträge zu Gottfried Arnold, Ernst Christoph Hochmann von Hochenau, Eberhard Ludwig Gruber, Alexander Mack und anderen Exponenten des radikalen Pietismus sowie Arbeiten zu Themen wie ihrem Geschichtsbild, ihrer Zukunftserwartung, ihrem Taufverständnis, Einflüssen der Hermetik und ihrer Wirksamkeit in Skandinavien. Die Aufsätze sind auch für literatur- und kulturwissenschaftliche Zugänge zur Pietismusforschung von besonderem Interesse.

Dieser Band vereint die Forschungsbeiträge von Hans Schneider zu Martin Luther und dem Augustiner-Eremitenorden. Schneiders Studien gehen aus von einer gründlichen Sichtung der Quellen zu Luthers Romreise. Dies führt nicht nur zu einer neuen Datierung, sondern auch zu einer anderen Einordnung der Reise in den Konflikt um die Ordenspolitik des Johann von Staupitz und die Ordensobservanz.Hinzu kommen Untersuchungen zur Auseinandersetzung um den Ablass nach der Veröffentlichung der 95 Thesen, zur Heidelberger Disputation vom April 1518 und zur Augsburger Konfrontation Luthers mit Kardinal Cajetan vom Oktober 1518. Damit werden zentrale Ereignisse der frühen Reformationsgeschichte aus der Perspektive von Luthers Ordenszugehörigkeit neu beleuchtet. Mehrere Beiträge widmen sich zudem verschiedenen Ordensgenossen Luthers, die anschließend als seine Anhänger oder Gegner in Erscheinung traten. Schneiders intensive Quellenarbeit eröffnet neue Perspektiven auf die Anfänge der Reformation.[Martin Luther and his Order. Works on the History of Church and Theology]This volume presents the research contributions of Hans Schneider on Martin Luther and the Order of Hermits of Saint Augustine. Schneider''s studies are based on a thorough review of the sources on Luther''s journey to Rome. This leads not only to a new dating, but also to a different evaluation of the journey in view of the conflict concerning the policy of Johann von Staupitz and the Order observance.In addition, there are studies on the controversy over indulgences after the publication of the 95 theses, the Heidelberg Disputation of April 1518 and Luther''s confrontation with Cardinal Cajetan in Augsburg in October 1518. Several contributions are also devoted to various members of Luther''s order, who subsequently appeared as his followers or opponents.

Johann Arndt (1555-1621) is one of the most influential figures in Protestant Christianity. His "Vier Bucher von wahrem Christentum" (Four Books on True Christianity) have been translated into many languages and are among the all-time best-sellers of Christian world literature. This volume collects essays (some heretofore unpublished) on Arndt by Hans Schneider, one of the most important living Arndt scholars.
