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] After Scott's departure in April 1842, Pietisten was edited by preacher Carl Olof Rosenius, who was left to continue Scott's work; its tone changed somewhat as Rosenius took it in a Moravian Brethren-influenced direction,[3] and began to include biblical exposition as well as occasional material from Johann Konrad Wilhelm Löhe, John Charles Ryle, Erik Pontoppidan, and others.

In the last years, Pietisten's editorial staff included Janne Nyrén (1914–1915), Johan Peter Norberg (from 1916), Theodor Andersson (from 1917) and Jakob Emanuel Lundahl (1918).

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.

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.
