Opis

The theme of this book is the life and works of Carl Johann Philipp Spitta, one of the leaders of the 19th-century Revival Movement in Lower Saxony, Germany. It looks at his theological relevance and also sheds light on his biography as well as giving a meticulous study of the source materials. The main emphasis lies on Spittas role as a religious poet, preacher, and minister as well as his understanding of church and ministry. A theological interpretation of his poetry and sermons, which complement each other, reflect the revivalist theology. Spitta's life is a excellent example of the characteristic interaction of personal devoutness and Confessional-Lutheran church life of the day. This study again brings to our attention a classic theologian who has been wrongly forgotten by posterity, one whose song collection Psalms and Harp (1833/1843) was one of the most widely used works of edification in the 19th century.
