Anthony Horneck (1641-1697) is a key figure for the migration of
the continental Pietist sensibilities into Restoration Anglicanism
and ultimately into Methodism. Horneck was educated at Heidelberg
and Leiden and then immigrated to England during the year of the
Restoration. In England he became a committed Anglican, but his
life and ministry demonstrated the influences of developing
continental Pietism. He preached salvation. He avoided disputes
over non-essentials. Most significantly, he organized religious
societies of awakened souls beginning in 1678. The rules Horneck
drew up for the guidance of these societies bear many marks of
continental Pietism and laid the foundation for philanthropic and
revivalist movements in England. At Horneck's death there were a
number of these religious societies in and around London. In the
next twenty years they expanded in London and throughout the
counties, profoundly impacting Anglican piety. By the 1720s their
network provided the matrix of relationships through which
Moravians (a Continental Pietist group) and Oxford Methodists met
in what became the Anglo-evangelical revival. In the 1730s and 40s
they enabled Methodism's rapid spread and were united into a new
movement. Foundation for Revival provides insight into the complex
religious world of Restoration piety blurring some of the rigid
distinctions between Puritans and Anglicans. As a combination of
Restoration high church piety and Pietist sensibilities concerning
personal regeneration, Horneck provides a theological emancipation
from the usual categories defining evangelical Christianity.
Horneck's life also reveals an early, and generally overlooked,
link between continental versions of Pietism and English
evangelicalism, on which both the development of
mission/philanthropic institutions in England and the rise of
Methodism, Reformed and Wesleyan, depend. Finally, as a forerunner
of Methodism, Horneck helps to clarify many of the "contradictions"
in the piety of the young John Wesley, giving Wesley
