Pietisten
Pietisten ("The Pietist") was a Swedish Christian monthly publication "for religious revival and edification", described by one scholar as "the theological journal of Nyevangelism",[1] and founded in January 1842 by the Scottish Methodist minister George Scott, who had immigrated to Sweden.[2] The word pietist, from the Latin word pietas, meaning 'piety, godliness', refers to the Pietist movement.
History
Scott founded the journal with the goal of "practical edification without polemics"
Rosenius continued until his death in 1868,
600 copies were published in Pietisten's first year and around 10,000 copies were published between 1853 and 1865. The journal was for the Mission Friends but was widely popular among revivalists as a whole: selections were copied, translated, and published freely at the time. A Finland-Swedish version entitled Den evangeliska budbäraren ('The Evangelical Messenger') was also published.[9][10]
Rosenius and Waldenström contributed to the founding of Evangeliska Fosterlandsstiftelsen (EFS, the Swedish Evangelical Mission, 1856) and the Svenska Missionsförbundet (SMF, Swedish Mission Covenant, 1878) respectively, the former a revivalist movement within the Church of Sweden, the latter a free church which split from EFS in part due to differing views on the atonement held by Waldenström and his followers.[11][1] This contradiction led the EFS, in reaction to the founding of the SMF, to reissue the first fifteen volumes under the title Pietisten. Nytt och gammalt från nådens rike, which Rosenius had edited, while Pietisten under Waldenström became the official voice of the SMF in 1909 and was merged with the magazine Missionsförbundet in 1919.
Pietisten (1986–present)
A namesake journal, self-described as the "spiritual heir" of the original Pietisten, has been published in Minneapolis, Minnesota, since its founding in 1986 by David Hawkinson and Peter Sandstrom.[12]
