Pietism is a reform movement originating among German Lutherans in
the 17th century. It focused on personal faith, reacting against
Lutheran Church's emphasis on doctrine and theology over Christian
living. The movement quickly expanded, exerting an enormous
influence on various forms of Christianity, and became concerned
with social and educational matters. Indeed, Piestists showed a
strong interest in issues of social and ecclesial reform, the
nature of history and historical inquiry, the shape and purpose of
theology and theological education, the missional task of the
church, and social justice and political engagement. Though, the
movement remained largely misunderstood, especially in
Anglo-American contexts: negative stereotypes depicted Pietism as a
quietist and sectarian form of religion, merely concerned with the
"pious soul and its God." The main proposal of the editors of this
volume is to correct this misunderstanding: assembling a deep
collection of essays written by scholars from a variety of fields,
this work demonstrates that Piestism was a movement characterized
by great depth and originality. Besides, they show the vitality and
impulse of Pietism today and emphasize the ongoing relevance of the
movement for contemporary problems and questions.
