'...a good entre into the complex world of the Pietists in Europe
and America.'
Craig D. Atwood, Church History, volume 81
"The essays share an effort to defend Pietism from charges that the
movement's emphasis upon religious experience and regeneration
frequently degenerated into individualism and anti-intellectualism,
an egregious charge for authors defending and promoting pietism as
the key to evangelical higher education."
Carter Lindberg, Catholic Historical Review July 2013
'[This volume] remains a good resource for selective reading based
on research needs. The authors successfully dispel antiquated
notions and demonstrate Pietism's rich intellectual and theological
impact throughout history.'
Hoon J. Lee, Reviews in Religion and Theology, Vol.21, No.1,
January 2014
"...an excellent introductory resource into the polyphone of voices
comprising pietism within protestant Christianity, and yet
communicates the intricacies, nuances, and regional diversities
through its collection of easily accessible essays. [...] the work
is not only a helpful text for those new to the study of pietism
and its impact on global Christianity, it also continues to explore
the deeper - and highly nuanced - impact pietism has had on
Protestantism since the reformation."
Joseph McGarry, University of Aberdeen, in Theological Book Review
(tbr), Vol. 25, No.1, 2013
"The Pietist Impulse in Christianity has often been viewed as a
negative stereotype of Protestantism. In this book, edited by
Christian Collins Winn, Christopher Gehrz, William Carlson, and
Eric Holst, a more positive assessment is given. The essays trace
the origins and effects of the fast-moving reform movement, which
originated with the German Lutherans."
-Church Times, 13 November 2015
"The reading of the collected volumes is enlightening and enriching
and offers new concepts and perspectives for the [study of
pietism]."-Hans-Anton Drewes, Theologisch Literaturzeitung No 139
Heft 1, Januray 14
