But God marches forward in history, and whoever stands still is in
danger of losing God. Here the son, Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt,
writes as nowhere else about his father, Johann Christoph
Blumhardt, clarifying the unity and continuity in their thought,
but also his own painful though necessary points of departure. In
particular, he takes a critical look at the role of faith healing,
exorcism, and spiritual warfare in "The Awakening" that thrust his
father into the limelight, as well as his father's reluctance to
step beyond the walls of the Christianity he inherited. God wants
to renew the whole world, to pour out his Spirit on humankind
again, and around the world Christians are praying for renewal and
revival. Are we standing in the way? Blumhardt calls out obstacles
or "false crutches" that he believes thwarted the movement of the
Spirit in his father's time and his own, all of which are still
with us today: a focus on piety and personal salvation,
misconceptions about mission and evangelism, and the institutional
church with its human structures, dogmas, and traditions. If the
religion of our churches is too small for God, are we ready to step
outside and live in accordance with his great future?
