Craig D. Atwood. Community of the Cross: Moravian Piety in Colonial Bethlehem. (Max Kade German-American Research Institute Series.) University Park: Pennsylvania State University Press. 2004. Pp. xi, 283. $37.50.

Few Americans today are even aware of the Moravian Church. During the eighteenth century, however, Moravians were anything but unknown. Their beliefs and practices were widely regarded as threats to public order, morality, and faith, and they were frequent targets of polemics, legislation, and decrees designed to protect others from their perceived excesses. It is this aspect of eighteenth-century Moravians, their radical piety, that Craig D. Atwood seeks to recapture. This piety, Atwood believes, was the "heart and soul" (p. 8) of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania—the Moravians' chief settlement in North America—but has seldom received its due in previous studies of Bethlehem, most of which focus on the community's distinctive social and economic institutions rather than the faith that informed them.
