(Dale Brown began his study of pietism nearly forty years ...)
Dale Brown began his study of pietism nearly forty years ago "during the height of the ascendancy of the bitterly anti-pietistic neo- orthodox scholasticism." At that time pietism was a bogey implying moralism, subjectivism, emotionalism, and a host of other such "-isms." Brown set about to assess pietism in its historical situation, and to clearly define it as a term describing a historical movement instead of a group of traits present in contempory Christianity. Today many Christians are looking to pietism for answers to the problems of postmodernism. The new revision of this classic work will give scholars and laypersons excellent insight into the significant theological movement of pietism.

(The Church of the Brethren finds it more difficult to art...)
The Church of the Brethren finds it more difficult to articulate its beliefs than do those denominations that treasure creeds, catechisms, and perhaps a single theologian. Yet Brethren have experienced a variety of ways to "do theology," says Dale W. Brown, for whom doing theology and living out the faith are very similar. This important contribution to-and from-the Church of the Brethren is useful for both adcademic and lay readers.
