Abstract

Scholars of Pietism, the religious reform movement of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, have attempted in recent years to increase understanding and respect for the movement among American scholars. F. Ernest Stoeffler's The Rise of Evangelical Pietism (1971), Dale Brown's Understanding Pietism (1978), and Peter Erb's Pietists: Selected Writings (1983) all begin with a plea for open-minded recognition of Pietism's positive contributions. Our negative interpretation of the movement, they note, has been shaped largely by those opponents who first gave the Pietists their label.
