The Reading and Preaching of the Scriptures in the Worship of the
Christian Church is a multivolume study by Hughes Oliphant Old that
explores the history of preaching from the words of Moses at Mount
Sinai through modern times. In Volume 5, Moderatism, Pietism, and
Awakening, Old brings the story of preaching up through the
eighteenth century, showing how, after the tumultuous age of the
Reformation, preaching in the eighteenth century was driven in
several very different directions. The book's first chapter
considers moderatism, an inevitable reaction against the high
tensions of the Reformation and Counter-Reformation. In the second
chapter Old discusses pietism, examining the contributions of
Philipp Jakob Spener, Theodorus Jacobus Frelinghuysen, John Wesley,
George Whitefield, Samuel Davies, and other preachers. The
remaining seven chapters delve into a variety of national or
denominational schools of preaching."

during Charlemagne's Holy Roman Empire, the era of the great
