Welcome to the web page of Eric Jonas Swensson, a publisher, writer and lecturer married to Joyce, with whom they have a son, Christopher (age thirteen). You are invited to discover "The Faithists" (Pietists) here by watching video messages. Dr. Swensson is seen here giving mini-lectures on pioneer figures in Early Modern history, a group commonly called the Pietists. The Faithists revolutionized European culture and church, impacting the world through religion, education, communication, art, and culture. It is something greatly appreciated among European intellectuals more so in North America and elsewhere, but Eric explains how you can immediately appropriate their simple approach to life yourself.
Eric channels his passion for the transformed life into teaching people how to transform their life by understanding how people have done that throughout history. His main area of expertise is the Kinderbeten, the Silesian Praying ChildrenÃÃâs Revival which began is 1707. He is a historian whose emphasis is practical: teaching people how to apply these timeless methods to their own lives. The release of Kinderbeten is planned for fall 2009.
