  • Carl Olof Rosenius – Der Seelsorger Des Nordens
    Odd Eivind Stensland Carl Olof Rosenius – Der Seelsorger des Nordens 1. Einleitung Carl Olof Rosenius wird zu den größten Laienpredigern in Schweden gezählt. Er hat zwar nie ein Buch geschrieben, war aber dennoch einer der drei am meisten gelesenen Verfasser im Schweden des 19. Jahrhunderts – neben Selma Lagerlöf und August Strindberg. Bei Rosenius ist der Grund darin zu suchen, dass er für die Zeitschrift Der Pietist verantwortlich war, die sehr weit verbreitet war. Darin schrieb er erbauliche Artikel, die später in Buchform erschienen. Es sind ungefähr 90 verschiedene Titel von Rosenius auf Schwedisch erschie- nen. Seine Schriften wurden in über 30 Sprachen übersetzt, und seine Bücher erreichten in Schweden eine Auflage von über zwei Millionen, und in anderen Sprachen eine Million. Rosenius starb am 24. Februar 1868 im Alter von 52 Jahren. Aber im Laufe dieses kurzen Lebens prägte er ein ganzes Volk, nicht nur in Schweden, sondern auch im ganzen Norden und darüber hinaus und tut das immer noch. Es müsste viel mehr gesagt werden, als der Umfang dieses Artikels zulässt, aber ich möchte doch eine kleine Skizze von diesem Mann zeichnen, der so viel bedeutet hat – sowohl für mich als auch für viele andere Menschen. So lange es ein lebendiges Christentum gibt, wird sein Name geliebt und aktuell bleiben. 1 2. Wer war dieser Mann? Wer war dieser Mann, der so viele Menschen geprägt hat? – Carl Olof Rosenius wurde am 3. Februar 1816 in Nysätra, etwa 70 km nördlich von Umeå, als drittes von sieben Geschwistern geboren. Sein Vater hieß Anders Rosenius und war 1 Umfassend informiert über das Leben von Rosenius auf Deutsch: Sven Lodin: Carl Olof Rosenius.

Defining Lutheranism from the Margins: Paul Peter Waldenström on Being a “Good Lutheran” in America MARK SAFSTROM he histories of church institutions may often be written by the orthodox “winners,” but dissenters, protestors, and even her Tetics undoubtedly play important roles in giving direction to the parent institution’s evolving identity. Such voices from the mar- gins often set the agenda at crucial moments, prompting both the dissenters and establishment to engage in a debate to define proper theology and practice. Once a dissenting group has formally sepa- rated from a parent body, there is a risk that teleological hindsight will obscure the nature of these conversations, including the reasons for the ultimate separation and the intentions of both the dissenters and the establishment.

  • Carl Olof Rosenius
    Carl Olof Rosenius Mention has already been made of the hymns of Rosenius. These, like the songs of Lina Sandell, were likewise a powerful factor in the spread of the evangelical movement in Sweden. Rosenius was the son of a parish pastor in Norrland, Sweden. From the time of his birth, February 3, 1816, he was dedicated by his pious parents to the holy ministry. After having pursued studies for a short time at Upsala University, however, he became disgusted with the low moral and spiritual standards existing among the students, and for a while his own faith was severely shaken. During these spiritual difficulties he came in contact with George Scott, the Methodist evangelist in Stockholm, and eventually he began to hold meetings as a "lay preacher." In 1842 Scott and Rosenius began the publication of Pietisten, a religious monthly that was destined to play a most important part in the spiritual revival in Sweden. When Scott was constrained the same year to leave Sweden because of violent opposition to his movement, Rosenius became his successor, not only as editor of Pietisten, but also as the outstanding leader among those who were trying to bring about the dawn of a new spiritual day. Rosenius centered his activity in the Swedish capital, preaching and writing. He also traveled extensively throughout the country, and so the movement spread. Numerous lay preachers, known as "läsare," sprang up everywhere, holding private meetings in homes and in so-called "mission houses" that were built nearby the parish churches. Agitation for separation from the Established Church found no sympathy with Rosenius, who stood firmly on the Lutheran doctrine and regularly took communion at the hands of its ordained ministers.

  • God's Glory, Neighbor's Good: the Story of Pietism DVD Study Guide
    God’s Glory, Neighbor’s Good: The Story of Pietism DVD Study Guide Written by Mark Safstrom and Michelle Clifton‐Soderstrom This guide is intended as a resource for teachers and pastors to facilitate post‐viewing discussion of the 75‐minute overview of the history of Pietism. This episode is divided into three main chapters, which have brief summaries provided below. In addition, the questions for these chapters have been further divided into smaller sections, to allow flexibility for viewing in shorter installments and allow greater time to focus on the many people and concepts profiled in the film. Chapter 1 – “From Wittenberg to Halle” Summary: In 1675, the Pietist movement in Germany was energized by Philip Jakob Spener’s Pia Desideria and his desire to bring hope to Christians in a turbulent era following the Reformation. At that time, Europe was recovering from widespread devastation following decades of religious wars that discredited Christianity. Devotional texts from Johann Arndt and then Spener’s program to renew hope inspired many toward holy living. Emphases included reading Scripture, engagement of the whole priesthood, an active faith, tempering controversies with love, strengthening seminary education, and making preaching accessible and practical. From these emphases also came social change, particularly through the educational work of August Hermann Francke, and the inclusion of previously excluded or marginalized groups including women, children, the undereducated, and lower classes. In particular, Johanna Eleonora Petersen,

NygrenThis was a welcomed presentation of original Swedish pietist ideas translated in English, setting the feisty P. P. Waldenström side by side with his more moderate forerunner Carl Rosenius. Mark Safstrom provides an excellent introduction linking English/Scottish Methodism to the Pietist movement in Sweden during the nineteenth century. That movement would in short time cross the ocean and lead to the formation of the Evangelical Free and Evangelical Covenant Churches in America. While Pietism as a movement is usually associated with polarized holy living and a long list of worldly influences to be avoided (a reputation not wholly undeserved), these excerpts, particularly from Rosenius, illustrate the gentle earnestness and sincere experience of assurance and comfort that form the basis of historical pietism.

  • The History of Discipleship in the Lutheran Tradition
    The History of Discipleship in the Lutheran Tradition Robert Kolb If we wished to be fundamentalistic, we could make this a very short lecture. Even though Luther used the words for “disciple” and “discipleship,” in his translation of Scripture, the word itself did not become a part of Lutheran theological vocabulary until much later, perhaps first in the twentieth century – Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Nachfolge (he did not think it was necessary to mention the cost in the title) being the first, or at least one of the first, major work promoting the vocabulary in our tradition. On the other hand, trying to survey in forty-five minutes, what Lutherans have emphasized in their teaching of the Christian life is an impossibly large task since different cultural situations and different eras have made a variety of demands on Christian leaders’ thinking about what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. So this lecture will only try to use some examples and observations, mostly from the first two centuries of Lutheran history, to provoke our thinking about our own following in the footsteps of the one who has buried our sinful identities and raised us up to walk in his footsteps as trusting children of God. The lecture will offer some positive examples of faithfulness to Luther’s insights into the nature of the life of faith, fostered in repentance through the proper distinction of law and gospel, but negative examples of straying from Luther’s insights also abound. The lesson to be drawn from this historical picture admonishes us to remember that we stand always in the midst of the eschatological battle between God and Satan, between the truth of Jesus and devil’s deception, which seeks to weaken and misdirect the faith that creates the believer’s person as a child of God.

  • Discipleship in the Lutheran Tradition, Continued
    Discipleship in the Lutheran Tradition, Continued Colleagues, Herewith the second installment of Robert Kolb’s exploration of Lutheran thought and practice in matters pertaining to the development of the conscientious Christian. We broke off the tale last week in the latter part of the 16th century. Today Bob ushers us through the 17th century and into the 18th, introducing us along the way to some once famous pastors and teachers whose acquaintance is still well worth making. Then he’ll jump us forward to the middle part of the 20th century and conclude with some thoughts about the challenges facing Lutherans today as they seek from the strength of their tradition to foster disciples whose eyes, hearts, and lives are fixed on Christ where they belong. Not the least of these challenges is the blessed peculiarity of a tradition shaped by the distinction between Law and Gospel. As Bob will put it at the end, “discipleship just looks different in a Lutheran context.” May the aim of grasping why and how encourage your close and careful reading. Peace and Joy, Jerry Burce, for the editors The History of Discipleship in the Lutheran Tradition, Part 2 The sixteenth-century disciples of Luther and Melanchthon continued to emphasize that the Christian life is a life of repentance, in the midst of an eschatological battle with Satan and all his minions, they also believed. About mid-century a new literary genre arose and flourished for a generation in the Wittenberg circle – and was peculiar to it – as a means of calling for repentance and for instructing in the new obedience which flows from faith: the “devil book,” the “Teufelsbuch.” The devil played a relatively small role in this genre, but he provided the occasion for focusing on a variety of sins that plagued the baptized of the later sixteenth century.
