no, i asked them to break the tie and these were the results
not regarding your current post, but I've just got to say, this is quite the operation you're running here matt. how on earth do you keep up with us all? Is blogger paying you? :)
I have no social life
piety at its finest: Alcohol is #1, War is #15.
hey ap
what would you say are the major differences between modern day pietism and pietism in the early church?
piety was certainly much more holistic in the early church, would be my first hunch. i mean, the later mystics were almost always monks--which reflects the holistic nature of their inner devotion.
i suppose i am better at critiquing post Reformation pietism than comparing the two! :)
since you know early church better than me, what do you think? i would be interested in reading a book on the subject.
I don't know that I know the early church better than you, but I would agree with your previous remark and say that many pietistic people nowadays are motivated by tradition whereas back then it was more passionate.
i sent an email to a Church History prof and he chided me a bit on pietism in the early church, since it is an invention of hte modern church against the Lutherans post Reformation. he said that the people they were reading were Pseudo-Macarius. haven't read him at all. still didn't find a resource that shows the connection between modern Pietism and early church piety.
