What People are Saying About This
"This treasure of writings of Swedish Pietists enriches both the mind and soul of the reader. Such writings launched Sweden's spiritual revival of the nineteenth century, and remain timeless in theological breadth and spiritual depth for us in the twenty-first century. What a resource for scholar, pastor, and lay reader alike."
David M. Gustafson, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Deerfield, IL
"Mark Safstrom's The Swedish Pietists: A Reader is an invaluable resource for scholars in the fields of history, theology, homiletics, and Scandinavian studies. For those interested in Pietism, renewal movements, and devotional practices, Safstrom's excerpts provide an excellent window into the world of a critical movement in church history. The translation workboth in technical skill and choice of excerptsshows careful scholarship and makes a real contribution."
Michelle A. Clifton-Soderstrom, Professor of Theology & Ethics, North Park Theological Seminary, Chicago, IL
