KG 106 Der radikale Pietismus

The Protestant renewal movement of Pietism in the 17th and 18th centuries not only produced reformers within the church, but also individuals and groups who could no longer cope with the church and left it. These movements were often characterized by an expectation of the imminent end of time and a great openness to supernatural revelations from God.
