Summary
Patrick Bahl's study on the prominent pietist Gottfried Arnold (1666-1714) - who previous research has primarily seen as a historian, poet, and radical church critic - shifts the view to Arnold as an original pastoral theologian and committed preacher by focussing on his postils, speeches, catechisms and, above all, the first and second editions of his main pastoral theological work Die Geistliche Gestalt eines Evangelischen Lehrers .
