Pietismus und Ökonomie (1650–1750).

The article discusses a collection of articles on the topic of Pietism and economy, which originated from a conference held in Mainz in 2012. The anthology consists of twenty articles, with fifteen in German and five in English, divided into three sections. The articles explore various aspects of religious-economic connections, practices of business/economy, and cultural and religious "economies." The anthology provides a definition of the term "economy" and examines its use in the seventeenth century. While the focus is primarily on Hallensian Pietism, there are also three articles that explicitly deal with Moravian case studies. The volume offers insights into the economic practices of different pietist groups and their reactions to the feudal economy. Additionally, it explores the role of religion and economic choice in colonial America and presents case studies on various topics such as Reformed Pietist ethics, Pietist fundraising trips, and Moravian economic activity. The final section examines the influence of economic thinking on ethics and piety, as well as the concept of time management in Pietist institutions. Overall, the anthology provides a comprehensive exploration of the intersection between Pietism and economy during the period of 1650-1750. [Extracted from the article]
