Christianity in the 18th century is marked by the First Great Awakening in the Americas, along with the expansion of the Spanish and Portuguese empires around the world, which helped to spread Catholicism. ==Protestant Pietism, evangelicalism== Historian Sydney E. Ahlstrom identified a "great international Protestant upheaval" that created Pietism in Germany and Scandinavia, the Evangelical Revival, and Methodism in England, And the First Great Awakening in the American colonies.〔Sydney E. Ahlstrom, ''A Religious History of the American People''. (New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 1972) p. 263〕 This powerful grass-roots evangelical movement shifted the emphasis from formality to inner piety. In Germany it was partly a continuation of mysticism that had emerged in the Reformation era. The leader was Philipp Spener (1635-1705), They downplayed theological discourse and believed that all ministers should have a conversion experience; they wanted the laity to participate more actively in church affairs. Pietists emphasized the importance of Bible reading. August Hermann Francke (1663-1727) was another important leader who made the University of Halle the intellectual center.〔F. Ernest Stoeffler, ''German Pietism During the Eighteenth Century'' (Brill Archive, 1973)〕〔Richard L. Gawthrop, ''Pietism and the Making of Eighteenth-century Prussia'' (Cambridge UP, 1993)〕 Pietism was strongest in the Lutheran churches, and also had a presence in the Dutch Reformed church. In Germany, however, reformed Reformed Church's work closely under the control of the government, which distrusted Pietism. Likewise in Sweden, the Lutheran Church of Sweden was so legalistic and intellectually oriented, that it brushed aside pietistic demands for change. Pietism continues to have its influence on European Protestantism, and extended its reach through missionary work across the world.〔Kenneth Scott Latourette, ''Christianity in a Revolutionary Age. Vol. I: The 19th Century in Europe; Background and the Roman Catholic Phase'' (1958) pp 74-89〕 The same movement toward individual piety was called evangelicalism in Britain and its colonies.〔Mark A. Noll, et al. eds. ''Evangelicalism: Comparative studies of popular Protestantism in North America, the British Isles, and beyond 1700-1900'' (Oxford University Press, 1994)〕 The most important leaders included Methodists John Wesley, George Whitefield and hymn writer Charles Wesley.〔Richard P. Heitzenrater, ''Wesley and the people called Methodists'' (2013).〕〔Frank Lambert, ''"Pedlar in divinity": George Whitefield and the Transatlantic Revivals, 1737–1770'' (1993) 〕〔Nicholas Temperley and Stephen Barfield, eds., ''Music and the Wesleys'' (2010)〕 Movements occurred inside the established state churches, but there was also a centripetal force that led to partial independence, as in the case of the Methodist and Wesleyan revivals.
