13. Pietism
(1) By the middle of the 17th century, European Christianity was facing something of a crisis. The Reformation was lost the early creativity and fervor, and so had given way to a dry and deathly dull scholasticism. Catholicism, Lutheranism and Calvinism alike did not offer spiritual energy.
(2) The rise of Pietism was a reaction to all of this. The pilot of this movement was Philip Spener, a Lutheran from Alsace, whose Pious Desires of 1675 called for a new emphasis on personal devotion and a changed life.
(3) Spener admired Luther but believed that the Reformation was only half finished; he hated the new intellectualist orthodoxies and argued that doctrine is less important than personal faith and moral living.
(4) Pietism revolved around the issues of repentance, individual conversion and living a new life.
(5) Pietism would continuously influenced to the whole world. It prepared the ground not only for the great 18th-century revival in England and North America, under people like Geroge Whitefield and John Wesley, but also for 18th-century rationalist religion, which had a similarly low regard for the doctrinal differences between faiths. (cf. Subjectivism/Schleiermacher).
