This collection of thirteen texts from the late seventeenth and the eighteenth centuries is offered by the editor, a Moravian pastor, as an illustration of the variety of Pietist views about the Jews. It is particularly welcome as the original editions are hard to get hold of. The two poles of the views expressed are zeal for conversion, necessarily prominent as long as the end-time was felt to be near and Romans xi was believed to promise that the conversion of the Jews was to be its immediate harbinger; and philosemitism, in the sense of recognising that the Jews worshipped the same God as the Christians and esteeming their place in God's purposes. The weak point of these texts is their dependence on some very quaint methods of exegesis; their strong point is that although they were not designed to convey the Jewish reaction to Christian policies of either kind curious hints leak out. Johann Adam Gruber, the apostle of Inspiration, made himself such a nuisance on a visit to a synagogue in Prague in 1716 by falling into a violent fit of inspiration that he had to be taken out; but there were Jews there who recognised the kinship of his spasms with those of Old Testament prophets, and a mutually edifying discussion of the nature of prophecy followed. And Samuel Lieberkuhn, one of the more successful Pietist missionaries to the Jews, explains that his method was to talk to Jews individually or in small groups (i.e. in non-threatening ways) and to keep the conversation focused on Jesus. All the main shades of German Pietist opinion are represented in the selections.
