| | Pietism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Pietism, as a distinct movement in the German Church, was then originated by Spener by religious meetings at his house (collegia pietatis) at which he repeated his sermons, expounded passages of the New Testament, and induced those present to join in conversation on religious questions that arose. | | | Pietism was a major influence on John Wesley and others who began the Methodist movement in 18th century Great Britain, and modern American Methodists and members of the Holiness movement continue to be influenced by Spener and also the Moravian legacy. | | | Pietism did not die out in the 18th Century but was alive and active in the Evangelische Kirchenverein des Westen (later German Evangelical Church and still later the Evangelical and Reformed Church) The church president from 1901 to 1914 was Dr. Jakob Pister and a pietist. |

| | Pietism |
| | The fact that pietism remained faithful to Scripture and that its subjectivity was controlled by Christian beliefs suggests that, whatever its relationship to the Enlightenment, it was not the primary source of the latter's skepticism or rationalism. | | | Yet insofar as the heart of pietism was captive to the gospel, it remained a source of distinctly Christian renewal. | | | On the other hand, pietism was, and continues to be, a source of powerful renewal in the church. |

| | Pietism as an Ecclesiological Heresy |
| | Pietism is a heresy in the realm of ecclesiology: it undermines or actually denies the very truth of the Church, transferring the event of salvation from the ecclesial to the individual ethos, to piety divorced from the trinitarian mode of existence, from Christ's way of obedience. | | | Pietism denies the ontological fact of salvationthe Church, life as personal coinherence and communion in love, and the transfiguration of mortal individuality into a hypostasis of eternal life. | | | For pietism, salvation is not primarily the fact of the Church, the theanthropic "new creation" of the body of Christ, the mode of existence of its trinitarian prototype and the unity of the communion of persons. |

| | "Pietism" by Ronald Feuerhahn |
| | One of the chief characteristics of pietism as it took institutional form in Germany and Scandinavia was the conventicle, a small group of Christians who met apart from the regular worship of the congregation for Bible study, prayer, and mutual edification. | | | Pietism was not content with criticizing the orthodox institutional church and demanding the introduction of reforms. | | | Pietism fostered a shift in epistemology, that is, how we "know" things, especially, but not limited to, the area of religion. |

| | Pietism was a religious and educational movement that sought to rekindle the Reformation through the mystical and spiritual rebirth of its followers. | | | Although the term "Pietism" is usually associated with the Lutheran reformist theologians, most the Reformation churches of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries experienced some elements of this movement. | | | Although the zealous Frederick William I was originally attracted to the doctrines of Pietism as a means to unite Calvinist and Lutheran interests, during his reign he incorporated its teachings into the secular world of Prussia's military, education, and welfare systems. |

| | The term Pietism connotes a movement in behalf of practical religion within the Lutheran Church of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. | | | Pietism thus became the center for multitudes of members of the State Church who had failed to find in the official clergy, dominated by Enlightenment, the aid to religion which they desired. | | | The Lutheran Church was bound, as Pietism was not, by the creeds in which it had summarized its understanding of the Bible, and which it regarded as authoritative. |

| | J. S. Bach: Rationalist, Pietist, or Both? |
| | It is Pietism that accounts for his unswerving resolve to approach the concealed meaning of the word, for his devout contemplation of the religious value inherent in the word, and for his anxiety to do full justice to the word whose religious connotations the artistic form must not injure. | | | After Ohrdruf Bach encountered Pietism again at Mühlhausen, where he served as organist at the church of St. Blasius. | | | The Pietists advocated an almost mystical interpretation of faith and Scripture, an interpretation most contrary to rationalism, namely, that faith would come only after personal awareness of the magnitude of Christ's sacrifice and that the true meaning of Scripture would be revealed only after intense and pious contemplation. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pietism |
| | Pietism is a movement within the ranks of Protestantism, originating in the reaction against time fruitless Protestant orthodoxy of the seventeenth century, and aiming at the revival of devotion and practical Christianity. | | | Though the founders of Pietism had no idea of forsaking the basis of Lutheran dogma, the Pietistic movement, with its treatment of dogma as a secondary matter and its indifference to variations in doctrine, prepared the ground for the theological rationalism of the period of enlightenment. | | | Among the theologians who, starting as Pietists, advanced to an independent position, quite at variance with organized Protestantism, the most conspicuous were Gottfried Arnold (died 1714), representative of a fanatical mysticism, and his disciple, Johann Konrad Dippel, who attacked all forms of orthodox Christianity. |

| | Pietism |
| | The errors of Pietism that most directly apply to Communion practice are the errors most central to the Christian faith. | | | Pietism aimed at a ``churchly revival of life.'' In 1669, Spener's preaching led members of his congregation to begin private devotional meetings, called collegia pietatis. | | | As a movement in the Lutheran Church, Pietism affected the frequency with which the Lord's Supper was celebrated in ways that may seem subtle. |

| | Bunnie Diehl: If you don't like it, just go away: Pietism |
| | Historically, the word "Pietism" refers to the kind that denigrates doctrine in favor of devotion, but contemporary Pietists quite often feel the need to learn this or that "secret of Christian living"--some new illuminating interpretation, or prayer of special value, that will help them live triumphantly (think: _The Prayer of Jabez_). | | | And definitely not the definition of "pietism" that I was expecting. | | | The amount will vary from church to church, and the degree to which it affects someone's understanding of the faith will vary from believer to believer, but Pietism is "in the water" in standard Baptistic/Evangelical theology and practice. |

| | JOHN WESLEY'S CRITICAL APPROPRIATION OF EARLY GERMAN PIETISM |
| | To be sure, it was the "mystics" and those who followed in their train who believed that the renewal of doctrine and ecclesiastical practice which had begun during the Reformation must be supplemented by a renewal of life. | | | lists the major characteristics of Pietism: a belief that the essence of Christianity consists in a personally meaningful relationship to God; a belief in religious idealism; an emphasis upon the study of the Bible; and a morally critical or oppositive perspective regarding the established Church. | | | 27ff., suggests that the major characteristics of Pietism were: a concern for the reform of the Church; a Biblical orientation; a conscious concern to continue the Reformation, moving from doctrine to life; a theology of experience; and hope for the world. |

| | Pietism began as a reaction to the highly intellectualized orthodoxy that had become common in Lutheran and Reformed churches in the decades following the Reformation. | | | Well, as Yogi once said, “Prediction is very hard, especially when it’s about the future,” but if the New Testament is any indication, things don’t look all that bright. | | | There should be "a more extensive use of the Word of God among us." The Bible, Spener said, "must be the chief means for reforming something." |
