[[File:Fünfbrüderbild.jpg|thumbnail|right|The "Five Brothers of Württemberg Pietism" are: Johannes Schnaitmann (1767–1847), Anton Egeler (1770–1850), Johann Martin Schäffer (1763–1851), Immanuel Gottlieb Kolb (1784–1859) and Johann Michael Hahn (1758–1819)]]
'''Pietism''' has roots in late 17th century German [[Lutheranism]] following the [[Protestant Reformation]]. The ongoing [[theology|theological]] disputes that were dividing [[Christianity]] into competing factions prompted some Christians to emphasize the need for a heart-felt, less intellectually oriented (less "[[Scholasticism|scholastic]]") [[faith]]. In this atmosphere, Pietism was born.
