	August Hermann Francke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		August Hermann Francke (March 22, 1663 - June 8, 1727), was a German Protestant churchman.
		He soon became popular as a lecturer; but the peculiarities of his teaching almost immediately aroused a violent opposition on the part of the university authorities; and before the end of the year he was interdicted from lecturing on the ground of his alleged pietism.
		Here his evangelistic fervour attracted multitudes to his preaching, including Roman Catholics, but at the same time excited the anger of his opponents; and the result of their opposition was that after a ministry of fifteen months he was commanded by the civil authorities (September 27, 1691) to leave Erfurt within forty-eight hours.

		AUGUST HERMANN FRANCKE (1663-1 7 27), German Protestant divine, was born on the 22nd of March 1663 at Lubeck.
		Here his evangelistic fervour attracted multitudes to his preaching, including Roman Catholics, but at the same time excited the anger of his opponents; and the result of their opposition was that after a ministry of fifteen months he was commanded by the civil authorities (27th of September 1691) to leave Erfurt within forty-eight hours.

	Pietism - LoveToKnow Watches
		Three magistri belonging to that society, one of whom was August Hermann Francke, subsequently the founder of the famous orphanage at Halle (1695), commenced courses of expository lectures on the Scriptures of a practical and devotional character, and in the German language, which were zealously frequented by both students and townsmen.
		The lectures aroused, however, the ill-will of the other theologians and pastors of Leipzig, and Francke and his friends left the city, and with the aid of Christian Thomasius and Spener founded the new university of Halle.
		The main difference between the new Pietistic school and the orthodox Lutherans arose from the conception of Christianity as chiefly consisting in a change of heart and consequent holiness of life, while the orthodox Lutherans of the time made it to consist mainly in correctness of doctrine.

	Reception of the Doctrine of Justification among German Lutheran Pietists
		Francke stressed that justification and the ability to live the Christian life is activated by the power of the Holy Spirit each step of the way solely by grace, which is shown in his repeated admonishments to be humble and explanations how this all works through the power of the Holy Spirit.
