Description

This addition to the distinguished Classics of Western Spirituality series introduces readers to the faith and work of four figures of the 19th-century revival movement called the German Awakening: -August Tholuck (1799-1871) -Theodor Fliedner (1800-1864) -Johann Hinrich Wichern (1808-1881) -Friedrich von Bodelschwingh (1831-1910) The German Awakening engendered a spirituality that fostered human kindness, grounded it in awakened faith, and gave it the shape of loving service to society. This remarkable and unique scholarly contribution: -translates the majority of its materials for the first time in English. -includes a variety of spiritual genres-sermons, hymns, commentaries, mission statements, etc. -brings the fascinating lives, faith and work of these men to the attention of a broader audience. -has a preface by the eminent theologian Martin E. Marty.
