Against German Rationalism

WITHIN the German state-church there is arising a movement much like the earlier Methodist revival, which at first aimed at a work within the Church of England, rather than at the establishment of another denomination. This German protest against state-church formality and rationalism takes the name of the Fellowship Movement. It is organizing meetings for prayer and Bible study, and training evangelical workers. The organizers declare:—
Our associations can no longer endure preaching in which the unbelief of modern theology finds expression. They simply refuse any longer to hear such preaching.
The movement is said to emphasize justification by faith, and the acceptance of the Holy Scriptures as the inspired Word of God.
