Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The German Pietists of Provincial Pennsylvania: 1694-1708 In submitting this volume to the public, the writer ventures the opinion that it will prove an acceptable contribution to our local history. The annals of Pennsylvania and Philadelphia have for years past been conspicuous in the chronicles of the nation. There is, however, one particular in which they have been more or less deficient, viz., in the history of the early Germans who came to this country with the firm intent of founding a home in the new world for themselves and posterity, and who took so large a part in the formation of our great commonwealth. The promise of liberty of conscience caused Pennsylvania, toward the dose of the seventeeth century, to become the dream of the various religious sects and enthusiasts then arisen in Germany, and at variance with the established orthodox church of their special divisions of the Fatherland. They longed for the religious freedom offered them in the Province of Penn, and gave shape to their desire in an extended emigration from Germany, fostered, as it were, by Benjamin Furly, the agent of Penn at Rotterdam. Thus arose the peculiar religious condition of the Province, and the establishment of the many different sects in the early period of our history.
