Revival, rebirth, pardon, awakening, revival<\/h3>\n

The term \"revival\" appears only in the early 20th century, until then: pietism, late pietism.<\/h4>\n

Revival movements exist in the 18th and 19th centuries in a l l Protestant countries, first in England: Methodist Church from the 1740s.<\/h4>\n

USA: 1734 - 44 The Great Awakening, later several revival movements with charismatic preachers at \"camping meetings\" 1800, 1826-30, 1857-58.

      Revival Theology<\/h3>\n

      Religion as Submission to God's Word. Theology of Romanticism
      \nPrivate conventicles with tendency to separatism Opponents: rationalism, materialism, idealism<\/h4>\n

      Revelation = Christianity = fully rational;
      \nTask of reason: to hear the Word of God, to prove the divine authority and credibility of the Bible.
      \nTholuck: \"only the hell of self-knowledge enables the heaven of God-knowledge\".<\/h4>\n

      Bible: authentic document of divine revelation, inerrant, literally true; verbal inspiration; rejection of historical-critical method, instead daily Bible reading.<\/h4>\n

      Historical events are interpreted religiously (= in terms of salvation history): e.g. Kingdom of God, eschatology, Millennial Kingdom (Rev. 20,6).<\/h4>\n

      Sin, guilt, grace, justification, redemption, all-reconciliation are central themes.<\/h4>\n

      \"To be pious is to pray\" (Friedrich Schleiermacher).<\/h4>\n

      Jesus: Redeemer from the guilt of sin, sole mediator (\"mesites\") of God's fullness of grace.<\/h4>\n

      Jesus discipleship through constantly lived relationship with the Son of God Christology, Christ mysticism (wounds, blood, stigma).<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><\/div>

      \n

      Rationalistic theology<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      \n
      \n

      Religion without metaphysics
      \nTheology of the Enlightenment
      \nOfficial religion of the national churches
      \nOpponents: revivalism, materialism, idealism<\/h4>\n

      Revelation corresponds to natural religion, but needs purification. Primacy of reason: only what exists before common sense is valid.<\/h4>\n

      Bible: written by humans, therefore not free of errors; demand for historical-critical Bible research.<\/h4>\n

      Historical understanding of the Bible, religion, church doctrine and dogmatics.<\/h4>\n

      Original sin and traditional doctrine of justification are rejected.<\/h4>\n

      Pious is replaced by \"believing\".<\/h4>\n

      Jesus is not a savior\/savior for his devotees, but a teaching regent, sent by God out of love for mankind.<\/h4>\n

      Following Jesus through virtuous, moral living by free choice. He who acts morally is pious.<\/h4>\n

      No Christological dogmas, not even Trinitarian ones<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><\/div>
