Pietism: The Movement That Co-opted the Reformation

Pietism promised renewal but redefined the teachings of the Reformation. Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Walter Strickland, and Bob Hiller trace how Pietism’s focus on heartfelt devotion replaced the Reformation’s core doctrines, paved the way for the Enlightenment, and continues to shape modern evangelicalism.

In Heaven Came Down, Michael Horton encourages us to see the wonder of Advent: the Almighty veiled in flesh, present with his people not to terrify but to save.
