Synopsis "Die Wurttembergische Tabea: Lebensbeschreibung Der Exemplarischen Pietistin Beata Sturm (1682-1730) (in German)"

A woman, weak of vision, folding her hands in prayer - this is how the court painter Isaak Lieffkopf depicted the pietist Beata Sturm (1682-1730) from Stuttgart. In the title of his book her biographer Georg Conrad Rieger (1687-1743) compares her to the woman Tabitha (Acts 9) from the New Testament, thus indicating who she actually was: a disciple of Jesus, who did much good, gave many alms and in whom God's power over illness and death was demonstrated. Beata Sturm confessed to Rieger, her pastoral counsellor, that she would have preferred to become a preacher. Shortly after her death, Rieger started to write her biography. In Wurttemberg, maid Sturmin was worshipped like a saint after her death. Similarly, in his biography that contains personal knowledge of Beata Sturm, Rieger aims to depict her life and work in a way that she could become a role model for many. His book is an example of a Protestant hagiography, but also includes contemporal insights into the practice of piety in the life in the early 18th century. Martin H. Jung is Professor of Historical Theology at the University of Osnabruck. Since 1999 he is a member of the Historical Commission for the Study of Pietism. The exploration of pietism in Wurttemberg has been one of his main research subjects since his PhD.
