Nyevangelism

'New Evangelism') is a term for a branch of revivalist Protestant Christianity which emerged in Norrland, Sweden, at the beginning of the 19th century.

[3][2] Danish scholar Finn Rønne notes different views on the movement's origin: it has been argued that it can be traced back to the teachings of strongly Moravian-influenced priest Anders Carl Rutström [sv], while others posit it is an outgrowth of Carl Olof Rosenius' beliefs.

Here Nyevangelism represented a return to the tenets of Luther; sometimes it was taken further, however, so that not only atonement but also justification was considered to have taken place with the death of Christ.

Nevertheless, the term new evangelism came to be used also within the Mission Covenant Church of Sweden, founded in 1878 as the Svenska missionsförbundet when Waldenström's followers split off from the movement.

[2] Others associated with Nyevangelism in Sweden include Thor Hartwig Odencrants, Lars Vilhelm Henschen, and Adolphe Stackelberg.
