The Pietists

Although the Pietism movement was relatively brief, its long-standing influence can be seen in many aspects of our intellectual, political, and religious culture today. Originating in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, Pietism eventually affected Lutheran, Reformed, and Wesleyan churches throughout Europe and North America, forever changing the face of Christianity. This classic collection of writings from the most prominent and important Pietists is essential to understanding our history as a religious people.
