Description
This classic work, first published in 1675, inaugurated the movement in Germany known as Pietism. In it a young pastor, born and raised throughout the devastating Thirty Years War, voiced a plea for reform of the church which made the creator and his proposals famous. A lifelong friend of the philosopher Leibnitz, Spener used to be a very powerful influence within the lifetime of the following leader of German Pietism, August Herman Francke. He used to be also a sponsor on the baptism of Nicholas Zinzendorf, founder of the Moravian Church, whose members played a the most important role within the lifetime of John Wesley.
