Viac o knihe

Focusing on the transformative impact of Pietism, this book explores its significance as a crucial movement in Protestant Christianity following the Reformation. Unlike early reformers who emphasized doctrinal changes, Pietist leaders prioritized the moral and behavioral reform of Christians. This fundamental shift in focus contributed to tensions within the Protestant community, ultimately leading to the emergence of radical Pietism, a movement characterized by its emphasis on personal piety and communal living.
