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. Ken A. Grant South Bend %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
