Make Way for the Spirit: My father''s battle and mine

English

By (author): Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt

But God marches forward in history, and whoever stands still is in danger of losing God. Here the son, Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt, writes as nowhere else about his father, Johann Christoph Blumhardt, clarifying the unity and continuity in their thought, but also his own painful though necessary points of departure. In particular, he takes a critical look at the role of faith healing, exorcism, and spiritual warfare in The Awakening that thrust his father into the limelight, as well as his fathers reluctance to step beyond the walls of the Christianity he inherited. God wants to renew the whole world, to pour out his Spirit on humankind again, and around the world Christians are praying for renewal and revival. Are we standing in the way? Blumhardt calls out obstacles or false crutches that he believes thwarted the movement of the Spirit in his fathers time and his own, all of which are still with us today: a focus on piety and personal salvation, misconceptions about mission and evangelism, and the institutional church with its human structures, dogmas, and traditions. If the religion of our churches is too small for God, are we ready to step outside and live in accordance with his great future? See more

About Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt

Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt (18421919) with his unconventional ideas about the kingdom of God profoundly affected a whole generation of European seekers. Pastor politician and author he influenced Dietrich Bonhoeffer Emil Brunner Oscar Cullman and Karl Barth among other luminaries.

He carried forward the work of his father Johann Christoph Blumhardt (18051880) who is regarded by many as the key figure of German pietism. Christian T.

He is author of Jesus is Victor! The Significance of the Blumhardts for the Theology of Karl Barth. Charles E. Moore is co-editor with Christian T. Collins Winn of The Blumhardt Source Series. He has also edited several acclaimed popular collections of Blumhardt writings including Action in Waiting Everyone Belongs to God and The God Who Heals.
