Historian Mark Noll has written that historic Pietism "breathed a
badly needed vitality" into post-Reformation Europe. Now the time
has come for Pietism to revitalize Christianity in post-Christendom
America. In The Pietist Option, Christopher Gehrz, a historian of
Pietism, and Mark Pattie, a pastor in the Pietist tradition, show
how Pietism holds great promise for the church-and the world-today.
Modeled after Philipp Spener's 1675 classic, Pia Desideria, this
timely book makes a case for the vitality of Pietism in our day.
Taking a hard look at American evangelicalism and why it needs
renewal, Gehrz and Pattie explore the resources that Pietism can
provide the church of the twenty-first century. This concise and
winsome volume serves as a practical guide to the Pietist ethos for
life and ministry, pointing us toward the renewal so many long for.
The Pietist Option introduces Pietism to those who don't know
it-and reintroduces it to those who perceive it as an outdated and
inward-focused spirituality, a nitpicking divisiveness, or an
anti-intellectual withdrawal. With its emphasis on our walk with
Jesus and its vibrant hope for a better future, Pietism connects
decisively with the ideas and issues of our day. Here is a
revitalizing option for all who desire to be faithful and fruitful
in God's mission.
