OF GOTTFRIED ARNOLD Gottfried Arnold (1666–1714) was a radical Pietist historian. His "Impartial History of the Church and Heretics" famously defended groups traditionally labeled as heretics, making him a target for orthodox theologians like Feustking.
A woodcut illustration depicting a religious conflict inside a church. A woman stands in an elevated pulpit, gesturing as if preaching. A placard on the pulpit bears the text: "Let the woman be silent in the church" Latin: Taceat mulier in ecclesia; a reference to 1 Corinthians 14:34.. To the left, a winged figure points toward a book or tablet on the floor inscribed with "Her-e-sy" German: Ket-ze-rie.. The congregation around the pulpit shows varied reactions; in the foreground, a woman appears to be falling or in a swoon while others assist her. The right side of the image is damaged and missing detail.
