- 요약Bethlehem, Pennsylvania was founded in 1741 by followers of the German count, Nikolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf, who turned his back on the polemical and doctrinal Christianity of his day and created an antirational religion that stressed personal religious experience as the foundation of the Christian life. Jesus Christ, in particular his suffering and death, was the focus of this religion of the heart. A key feature of this religion was Zinzendorf's reinterpretation of additional Christian doctrines, such as the incarnation and the Trinity. He emphasized the complete humanity of Jesus, including human sexuality, and he proclaimed that the Trinity consisted of the Father, Son, and Mother. In hymns, sermons, and discourses Zinzendorf used graphic and evocative language to mediate the existential impact of Jesus' suffering and death. The side wound of Christ became the most potent religious symbol for Zinzendorf and his followers.

- 요약Zinzendorf's heart religion attracted thousands of followers who responded to his call for a new type of Christian community which they called the Brudergemeine. The community of Bethlehem was the center of the Brudergemeine's activities in North America, and during its first twenty years it was an interracial religious commune dedicated to mission activity. Labor and property were shared for the common good. Children were raised communally, and husbands and wives lived apart from each other in single-sex dormitories. The backbone of the community was the choir system by which the entire community was divided according to age, gender, and marital status because the Brethren believed that the incarnation of Christ blessed all aspects of life in Bethlehem. Children were conceived as an act of worship, baptized in the wounds of Christ, and raised to be brides of Christ. Most important, the blood and wounds theology of Zinzendorf served to sublimate sexual and aggressive impulses for the good of the community. This dissertation demonstrates that the adoration of the wounds of Christ was essential to the success of the Bethlehem communal system.
