Having started our series with one historical theologian who helped write Reclaiming Pietism: Retrieving an Evangelical Tradition, it only makes sense that we continue the theme this week, when we’re joined by Christian Collins Winn of Bethel University.
In addition to civil discourse, academic freedom, peace, love, and “hope for better times,” Christian and I considered:
- Why there seems to be a sudden surge of interest in Pietism
- Why Christian finds the Blumhardts so inspiring
- Why Pietism’s “irenic spirit” isn’t the same thing as “Minnesota nice”
- Why Baptists might be a bit feistier than Pietists
- Why Christian’s rational faculties are a bit impaired when it comes to a certain ACC basketball team
