| Abstract | Johann Adam Gruber is one of the least-known figures of colonial Pennsylvania, yet he played a significant role among the German element in the religious history of the first half of the 18th century. He was a prolific writer and poet. Before coming to Pennsylvania in 1726 he was a prominent leader in the unusual religious movement known as the Community of True Inspiration. This group later migrated to the New World where it established the well-known Amana Community in Iowa. Gruber, Johann Adam, 1693-1763 |
