His claim to fame lies in a ten year period between 1694 and 1704 in which this Marburg-trained pastor became a prolific author, polemicist and promoter of chiliastic writings, thanks to a meeting with Thomas Beverley in 1693 and the baptism of a Muslim convert in 1694. Bröske lived a complex existence \"between Sardis and Philadelphia,\" as a Reformed court preacher and Philadelphian chiliast. His two-sided experience was actually the norm among the Pietists, including so-called radicals. Life between paradigms was the German way of being radical in early modern times due to a lack of religious toleration compared to England and the Netherlands. Bröske's story belongs to the rise of \"Early Evangelicalism\" that W.R. Ward has recently discussed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47891758416023,"sku":"9789004169685","price":19089.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789004169685.webp?v=1781184727","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/between-sardis-and-philadelphia-the-life-and-world-of-pietist-court-preacher-conrad-broske-9789004169685","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
