"Nonetheless, Atwood's study is a superb contribution to Moravian studies. For readers interested in learning about eighteenth-century Moravians, this book is the place to start."
--Beverly Smaby, Journal of American History
"Atwood's volume provides a much needed balance to the historical account of the Moravian Church in North America with its exclusive focus on the radical theology behind the founding and organization of the congregation in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania."
--Katherine M. Faull, Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography
"Atwood's central focus on the function of religious ritual in community formation will make Community of the Cross a welcome addition to history of religions scholarship, and his careful explication of Moravian piety will be invaluable to historians interested in Moravians for their unique role in colonial intercultural relations."
--Rachel Wheeler, Journal of Religion
"Consider Community of the Cross required reading for each person who calls himself or herself a 'Moravian.' It took Craig Atwood 10 years to complete this work. It will take you a couple of days of easy reading to fully appreciate our heritage, reflect on the past, and think about opportunities for the future."
--Rev. Robert M. Peek, The Moravian
"Atwood's book provides a valuable addition to our understanding of this fascinating community and of the people who built it."
--Daniel B. Thorp, American Historical Review
"Craig Atwood has successfully interpreted a difficult component of Moravian liturgy, shedding light on colonial Bethlehem in the process. Roman Catholic readers may well be intrigued by this Protestant group's devotions to Christ's wounds. Atwood's Community of the Cross persuasively interprets the unique conclusions that the Moravians drew from this devotion."
--Jeff Bach, Catholic Historical Review
