Pietism And Methodism

Pietism and Methodism: Or The Significance of German Pietism in the Origin and Early Development of Methodism is a book written by Arthur Wilford Nagler in 1918. The book explores the influence of German Pietism on the development of Methodism, a Christian denomination that originated in England in the 18th century. Nagler argues that the Pietist movement, which emphasized individual piety and a personal relationship with God, played a significant role in shaping the theology and practices of early Methodism. The book examines the lives and teachings of key figures in both movements, including Philipp Jakob Spener, August Hermann Francke, and John Wesley. Nagler also explores the similarities and differences between Pietism and Methodism, and discusses the impact of Pietist ideas on the broader Protestant tradition. Overall, Pietism and Methodism provides a detailed and insightful analysis of the historical and theological connections between these two influential Christian movements.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
