CMS 3900 Pietism and the Evangelical Movement
The course explores pietism and the evangelical movement. The two movements are twin sisters, having both begun in the 17th century in Europe. pietism and the evangelical movement are intertwined but are not the same. Most Evangelicals would not know the term pietism, but their non-doctrinal perspectives, intuitions and daily habits are dependent on the pietists. The outline of the study is the identity and history of Evangelical Covenant Church. To examine the history of ECC, is to study the history of both movements. Key turning points and figures in the ECC's story will be used as teaching moments to grasp the wider stories of pietism and evangelicalism. The great contributions of the two movements for the renewal of the church in the modern period are presented alongside the perplexities and challenges of their nondoctrinal identity are presented.
