ABSTRACT
This article draws attention to the gender gap in the field of Lutheran Pietism research. I would like to discuss three “issues”: first, how to incorporate gender in Pietism research; second, women’s participation and the expansion of their agency through the piety of Pietism and third, the challenges of the gender order by pietistic practices, which I call “gender trouble”. My observations about Pietism and Pietism research derives from my view on Lutheran middle class Pietism in Württemberg/Germany.1
