ABSTRACT
From the first major transport of Pietists to the New World in 1694, Pietism became a transatlantic phenomenon in the long eighteenth century. The migration of individuals, the creation of new communicative networks, and the continuing economic ties of religious communities in Europe and North America forged Pietist movements that shaped Protestantism on both sides of the Atlantic. Indeed, the interrelated development of these “pan-Atlantic” Pietist communities and networks underscores Bernard Bailyn’s concept of an Atlantic World rather than individual histories based on separate national identities.1
