Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Beichten eines Reformators" erzählt die Geschichte des katholischen Pfarrers Christian Sauer, der sich gegen die drohende Schließung seiner Dorfkirche zu wehren versucht. Doch Argumente hat er wenige: Das Gebäude ist sanierungsbedürftig, langjährige Kirchgänger sterben ihm der Reihe nach weg und der junge Nachwuchs bleibt aus. Nicht selten begrüßt Christian daher weniger als ein dutzend Menschen zum Gottesdienst, was nicht nur an seiner Zufriedenheit nagt, sondern auch Gedanken über eine Zusammenlegung zweier Gemeinden weckt. In diesem Fall würde Christian sehr wahrscheinlich versetzt werden, was ein Problem darstellt, denn mehr noch als den lieben Gott liebt er seine heimliche Freundin Maren - die nicht bereit wäre, Wohnort und Job für eine ungewisse Zukunft zu opfern.Als Christian seiner heimlichen Verehrerin, der Rentnerin Edith, sein Leid klagt, erzählt sie ihm von einer Gemeinde, der es gelungen sein soll, mit Hilfe von Werbung ihre Kirche wieder zu füllen. Der Pfarrer reagiert zunächst skeptisch auf den Vorschlag, aber ihm wird schnell klar, dass er zu ungewöhnlichen Mitteln greifen muss, wenn er die Jugend erreichen und seine Kirche retten will. Also beauftragt er den kreativen, aber egozentrischen und bis dato eher erfolglosen PR-Berater Markus Schlächter zunächst mit dem Entwurf eines simplen Flyers - und tatsächlich kann Christian beim folgenden Gottesdienst mehrere neue und vor allem junge Gläubige begrüßen.Während Edith damit zufrieden zu sein scheint, hat Christian Blut geleckt und bittet Markus um eine Ausweitung der Werbekampagne. Markus erkennt langsam das Potential, das darin steckt, Werbung für eine Kirche zu machen, und bietet Christian seine kostenlose Unterstützung an - unter der Voraussetzung, dass der ihm freie Hand lässt. Und damit nimmt das Schicksal seinen Lauf...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her study Chaoluan Kao offers a comprehensive investigation of popular piety at the time of the European Reformations through the study of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Protestant prayerbooks. It pursues a historical-contextual approach to spirituality by integrating social and religious history in order to yield a deeper understanding of both the history of Christian piety and of church history in general. The study explores seven prayerbooks by German authors and seventeen English prayerbooks from the Reformation and post-Reformation as well as from Lutheran, Anglican, and Puritan traditions, examining them as spiritual texts with social and theological significance that helped disseminate popular understandings of Protestant piety. Early Protestant piety required intellectual engagement, emphasized a faithful and heartfelt attitude in approaching God, and urged regular exercise in prayer and reading. Early Protestant prayerbooks modeled for their readers a Protestant piety that was a fervent spiritual practice solidly grounded in the social context and connections of its practitioners. Through those books, Reformation could be understood as redefining the meanings of people's spiritual lives and re-discovering of a pious life. In a broader sense, they functioned as a channel of historical and spiritual transition, which not only tells us the transformation and transmission of Reformation historically but also signifies the development of Christian spirituality. The social-historical study of the prayerbooks furthers our understanding of continuity, change, and inter-confessional influence in the Christian piety of early modern Europe.

Download or read book Pietism and the Sacraments written by Peter James Yoder and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2020-12-22 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considered by many to be one of the most influential German Pietists, August Hermann Francke lived during a moment when an emphasis on conversion was beginning to produce small shifts in how the sacraments were defined—a harbinger of later, more dramatic changes to come in evangelical theology. In this book, Peter James Yoder uses Francke and his theology as a case study for the ecclesiological stirrings that led to the rise of evangelicalism and global Protestantism. Engaging extensively with Francke’s manuscript sermons and writings, Yoder approaches Francke’s life and religious thought through his theology of the sacraments. In doing so, Yoder delivers key insights into the structure of Francke's Pietist thought, providing a rich depiction of his conversion-driven theology and how it shaped his views of the sacraments and the church. The first in-depth study of Francke’s theology written for an English-speaking audience, this book supports recent scholarship in English that not only challenges long-held assumptions about Pietism but also argues for the role of Pietism’s influence on the changing religious landscape of the eighteenth century. Through his examination of Francke’s theology of the sacraments, Yoder presents a fresh view into the eighteenth-century ecclesiological developments that caused a rupture with the dogmas of the Reformation. Original and vital, this study recognizes Francke’s importance to the history of Pietism in Germany and beyond. It will become the standard reference on Francke for American audiences and will influence scholarship on Lutheranism, Pietism, early modern German studies, and eighteenth-century history and religion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Reformation led those who embraced Martin Luther's teachings to revise virtually every aspect of their faith and to reorder their daily lives in view of their new beliefs. Nowhere was this more true than with death. By the beginning of the sixteenth century the Medieval Church had established a sophisticated mechanism for dealing with death and its consequences. The Protestant reformers rejected this new mechanism. To fill the resulting gap and to offer comfort to the dying, they produced new liturgies, new church orders, and new handbooks on dying. This study focuses on the earliest of the Protestant handbooks, beginning with Luther's Sermon on Preparing to Die in 1519 and ending with Jakob Otter's Christlich leben vnd sterben in 1528. It explores how Luther and his colleagues adopted traditional themes and motifs even as they transformed them to accord with their conviction that Christians could be certain of their salvation. It further shows how Luther's colleagues drew not only on his teaching on dying, but also on other writings including his sermons on the sacraments. The study concludes that the assurance of salvation offered in the Protestant handbooks represented a significant departure from traditional teaching on death. By examining the ways in which the themes and teachings of the reformers differed from the late medieval ars moriendi, the book highlights both breaks with tradition and continuities that marked the early Reformation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "Poor, Sinning Folk," W. David Myers investigates the sixteenth-century fate of the medieval Christian sacrament of penance, the process of confessing to a priest in secret one's sins against God and other humans. In Pre-Reformation Germany, numerous layers of public ritual, expectation, and display surrounded the central secret act of confessing and conditioned its meaning. Less frequent and less private than the ritual familiar to modern Catholics, medieval penance was for most German-speaking Christians a seasonal event with social as well as spiritual ramifications for participants. Protestantism swept confession away from many German lands. Even where Catholicism survived and flourished, as in the lands comprising modern Bavaria, the sacrament of penance changed profoundly. The modern confessional booth was introduced, making the sacrament more prominent, more secure from scandal, and ultimately more private. This reform coincided with the efforts of secular rulers to fashion a more disciplined, obedient population. New religious orders, most notably the Society of Jesus in Bavaria, saw the frequent confession of lay people as a means to piety and spiritual discipline amidst the temptations of worldly affairs. By the middle of the seventeenth century, political and religious forces combined to forge the sacrament of penance into an effective instrument of spiritual discipline which would fashion the modern Catholic conscience and endure essentially unchanged into the late twentieth century.
