Description
Summary:This article is dedicated to Pietism, a 17th century German Lutheran movement that called Christians to deep their life, prayer, and piety. In the 18th century, Pietism got from Germany to Scandinavian states and promoted schools, educational organizations, cooperatives, and peasant and worker movements. Статья посвящена пиетизму – движению внутри немецкого лютеранства в XVII в., которое было сосредоточено на углублении молитвенной жизни христиан и на их личном благочестии. В 18 веке пиетизм попал из Германии в скандинавские страны и способствовал там созданию школ, просветительских организаций, кооперативов, крестьянскому и рабочему движению.
