Community of the Cross: Moravian Piety in Colonial Bethlehem. By Craig D. Atwood. (University Park: Pennsylvania State University Press, 2004. xi, 283p. Illustrations, notes, appendices, index. $37.50.)

Craig Atwood's long-awaited volume on the intersection of Moravian faith and history in the eighteenth century could not be timelier for the growing numbers of scholars interested in the history, theology, and practices of the Pietist group in North America. Recent scholarship on the Moravians has focused on notions of race, gender, and the Atlantic world and most have concentrated on the Moravian settlement in North Carolina (perhaps because of the more readily available archival materials in Salem, North Carolina). Atwood's volume provides a much needed balance to the historical account of the Moravian Church in North America with its exclusive focus on the radical theology behind the founding and organization of the congregation in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
