Blog continues series on Pietism

Chris Armstrong, professor at Bethel Seminary (St. Paul, Minnesota) and blogger at Grateful to the Dead, continues his Religion of the Heart series, spotlighting the recent edited volume, The Pietist Impulse in Christianity. Check out Chris’s latest installment! I hope my provost will forgive me for plugging another institution, but the folks at Bethel have been doing a lot of thinking in recent years about the history of Pietism and its relevance for Christian higher education. See, Christopher Gehrz’s piece, “Education for ‘God’s Glory and Neighbor’s Good’ The Pietist Idea of a Christian College,” for example -- a study that also led to an article in Christian Scholar’s Review. (Gehrz, who also teaches at Bethel, has his own blog: The Pietist Schoolmen.) Its good to see this kind of ongoing thinking about Pietism’s historical significance!
