The Spirit Of Pietism Ebook

What is Pietism?In the late 17th century, a movement began in Germany that would shake up an already fragile Lutheran church. Pietism, as the movement came to be known, departed from many of the orthodox Christian practices of the day. An emphasis on morals and individual piety over the Scriptures and sacraments led to a rift in the church that hasn' t been fully repaired.But why did Pietism start? What did the Pietist leaders hope to accomplish? What is the true essence of Pietism?Author and pastor Robert Koester answers these questions and more in this in-depth study of this impactful theological movement. The Spirit of Pietism also debunks hasty generalizations about Pietism and offers practical lessons for 21st-century Christians. With a balanced narrative approach and readable style, this is an engaging book from start to finish!
