critiquing pietism

In a series of posts earlier this year (part 1; part 2; part 3), Kevin deYoung reflected on pietism and confessionalism and what each can learn from the other. Among his critiques of pietism were that it:

• emphasises dramatic conversions
• tends toward individualism
• pushes for unity based on shared experience
• pays little attention to careful doctrinal formulation
• has tried too hard to be relevant
• has largely ignored organic church growth by catechesis
• has too often elevated experience at the expense of doctrine
• has worn out a good number of Christians by assuming that every churchgoer is an activist and crusader more than a pilgrim

Whether the categories of pietism and confessionalism are familiar to you or not, perhaps some of those critiques ring a few bells?
