The possibility would be tricky to show in Pietism. There is a tendency to
move away from a mystical point of view in this tradition. There is a link
toward greater emotionalism within pietism, but like its counterparts,
English Evangelicalism (Puritanism) and American Evangelicalism (the great
awakenings) , it focuses most especially on the Bible and its effect on the
heart of the listener, and not so much on mysticism. Apocalypticism is
probably a better avenue.
