A History of the Moravian Church by J. E. Hutton Pdf
J. E. Hutton's superb history follows the Moravian Church from its earliest years as one of the earliest founding Protestant denominations, over the centuries as it developed into a mature Christian fellowship. Arranged chronologically, Hutton's history takes us first to the dawn of the Protestant Reformation in the fifteenth century. He details the fraught religious and political situation during the decades prior to the eventual split with the dominant Catholic order. We are introduced to the pivotal figures of the era, such as Peter of Chelci, Gregory the Patriarch and Luke of Prague. By harnessing popular sentiment and using new technology such as the printing presses to spread the new, Protestant doctrine, the split of Christianity occurred. The political climate of Prague, Bohemia and the surrounding areas in which the Moravians lived is much-detailed. The pure, simple observance of Christ and his virtues united the Moravian movement - the essential devotion to Jesus and his gospel appealed to Christians, who yearned for community under a common banner and felt distant from the old order. Poland in particular proved a bastion for the Moravian brethren, many of whom traveled and carried their traditions abroad. Following the years of conflict and Reformation, the Moravians distinguished themselves as a highly competent Christian group. Members of the Moravian church were among the first missionaries to venture to the New World, which was the scene of chaotic conflicts between the rival colonial powers. The simple adherence to the word of Christ runs a common thread through the political and moral dramas, as the Moravians grappled with issues such as slavery and war, helping slaves in kindness. Hutton's chronicle is thorough, intensively explaining the important aspects underpinning the Moravians. The development of their customs; how they congregated; the aesthetic appearance of their churches; and their establishment of parochial education are all detailed, giving the reader a vivid and valuable history.

Speaking to Body and Soul by Anonim Pdf
Dating back to 1785, the Moravian “Instructions for the Choir Helpers” contain detailed advice for the spiritual counselors of the men, women, and children in Moravian congregations on how to address concerns about one’s body and soul. In this volume, Katherine Faull presents an annotated, translated edition of the original German manuscript. In monthly “speakings”—regularly scheduled dialogues between the choir helper and individual church members to determine whether the congregant could be admitted to communion—men and women received spiritual guidance on topics as varied as the physical manifestations of puberty, sexual attraction, frequency of intercourse, infant care, and bereavement. From their founding in 1722, the Moravians were remarkable for their positive evaluation of the body; they held that the natural manifestations of masculinity and femininity were integral elements of spiritual consciousness. The “Instructions for the Choir Helpers”—which were highly confidential at the time and passed on only by permission of the church administration—reflect that philosophy, providing insights into an interpretation of the body as a holistic system that should be cared for as a vessel for the spirit. A unique resource for scholars of religious history, gender studies, and colonial American church history, Faull’s translation of this fascinating set of documents provides an unprecedented glimpse into a period of foundational change in Moravian history.

A Time of Sifting by Paul Peucker Pdf
At the end of the 1740s, the Moravians, a young and rapidly expanding radical-Pietist movement, experienced a crisis soon labeled the Sifting Time. As Moravian leaders attempted to lead the church away from the abuses of the crisis, they also tried to erase the memory of this controversial and embarrassing period. Archival records were systematically destroyed, and official histories of the church only dealt with this period in general terms. It is not surprising that the Sifting Time became both a taboo and an enigma in Moravian historiography. In A Time of Sifting, Paul Peucker provides the first book-length, in-depth look at the Sifting Time and argues that it did not consist of an extreme form of blood-and-wounds devotion, as is often assumed. Rather, the Sifting Time occurred when Moravians began to believe that the union with Christ could be experienced not only during marital intercourse but during extramarital sex as well. Peucker shows how these events were the logical consequence of Moravian teachings from previous years. As the nature of the crisis became evident, church leaders urged the members to revert to their earlier devotion of the blood and wounds of Christ. By returning to this earlier phase, the Moravians lost their dynamic character and became more conservative. It was at this moment that the radical-Pietist Moravians of the first half of the eighteenth century reinvented themselves as a noncontroversial evangelical denomination.

History of the Moravian Church (Illustrated) by J. E. Hutton Pdf
Burned at the stake. Hunted down for their faith. This illustrated edition of J. E. Hutton's captivating 500-year history depicts the Moravian Church from its early years as one of the oldest Protestant denominations to it's mature, modern form. Hutton divides the history it into four sections. He begins with the life and martyrdom of Jan Hus, then documents the 18th-century revival under Nikolaus von Zinzendorf, the famed Pietist and social reformer. Following the revival, the Moravians began to spread their faith throughout the world, and by the turn of the 20th century, they had firm establishments throughout Europe and North America. Today, the Moravian Church has nearly one million members, and it influences millions more. Arranged chronologically, Hutton's history takes us first to the dawn of the Protestant Reformation in the fifteenth century. He details the fraught religious and political situation during the decades prior to the eventual split with the dominant Catholic order. We are introduced to the pivotal figures of the era, such as: * Peter of Chelci * Gregory the Patriarch * Luke of Prague By harnessing popular sentiment and using new technology such as the printing presses to spread the new, Protestant doctrine, the split of Christianity occurred. The political climate of Prague, Bohemia where the Moravians lived and died is much-detailed. The pure, simple Christian observance and his virtues united the Moravian movement - the essential devotion to Jesus, the apostles, and his gospel appealed to Christians, who yearned for community under a common banner. Poland, in particular, proved a bastion for the Moravian brethren, many of whom travelled and carried their traditions abroad. Following the years of conflict and Reformation, the Moravians distinguished themselves as a highly competent Christian group. Members of the Moravian church were among the first missionaries to venture to the New World, which was the scene of chaotic conflicts between the rival colonial powers. The simple adherence to the word of Christ runs a common thread through the political and moral dramas, as the Moravians grappled with issues such as slavery and war, helping slaves in kindness. The worldwide influence of the 18th century Moravian missionaries was extraordinary. One notable example is the impact they had on John Wesley, leading directly to his conversion experience. Later the Moravians established a permanent presence on George Whitefield's estate. Hutton's chronicle is thorough, intensively explaining the important aspects underpinning the Moravians. The development of their customs; how they congregated; the aesthetic appearance of their churches; and their establishment of parochial education are all detailed, giving the reader a vivid and valuable history. Hutton includes the doctrinal stance of the Moravian church, indicative of the long term effect of the historical teachings of their founder, Count Zinzendorf. Their dedication is admirable. Interestingly, they adhered to the Augsburg Confession, denouncing the Anabaptist theology regarding the sacraments. Indeed, the Moravian church emphasises experiential Christianity, that is, inner feelings and revelations as well as outward emotional raptures. In that regard, they seem to have predated the charismatics. In short, J. E. Hutton's book provides a very interesting and fairly concise history of the Moravian movement. Highly recommended to anyone desiring a better understanding of the church predating the Anabaptists and inspired by the teaching and martyrdom of John Hus. Illustrations Include: * Jan Huss' trial and execution * The inspiration of Count Zinzendorf * Jerome of Prague * Scenes of Moravian life * and more...

A History of the Moravian Church by J. E. Hutton Pdf
'A History of the Moravian Church, ' by J. E. Hutton, offers a very broad yet detailed history of this admirable religious movement. Hutton includes the doctrinal stance of the present day Moravian church, which is indicative of the long term affect of the historical views and teachings of their founder, Count Zinzendorf. Their dedication is admirable, though their stance is a little confusing since they adhered to the Augsburg Confession (affirming both Lutheran and Anglican views) while considering themselves members of neither church. Interestingly, the Augsburg Confession denounces the Ana-Baptist theology regarding the sacraments. Indeed, the Moravian church emphasizes experiential Christianity, that is, inner feelings and revelations as well as outward emotional raptures. In that regard they seem to have predated the current charismatics and the Quietism. In short, J. E. Hutton's book provides a very interesting and fairly concise history of the Moravian movement. Highly recommended to anyone desiring a better understanding of the church that actually predates the Ana-Baptists and was inspired into existence by the teaching and martyrdom of John Hus.

The Moravian Church and the Missionary Awakening in England, 1760-1800 by J. C. S. Mason Pdf
The Moravian Church became widely known and respected for its 'missions to the heathen', achieving a high reputation among the pious and with government. This study looks at its connections with evangelical networks, and its indirect role in the great debate on the slave trade, as well as the operations of Moravian missionaries in the field. The Moravians' decision, in 1764, to expand and publicise their foreign missions (largely to the British colonies) coincided with the development of relations between their British leaders and evangelicals from various denominations, among whom were those who went on to found, in the last decade of the century, the major societies which were the cornerstone of the modern missionary movement. These men were profoundly influenced by the Moravian Church's apparent progress, unique among Protestants, in making 'real' Christians among the heathen overseas, and this led to the adoption of Moravian missionary methods by the new societies. Dr Mason draws on a wide range of primary documents to demonstrate the influences of the Moravian Church on the missionary awakening in England and its contribution to the movement.
