Abstract

The work of Samuel Schelwig (1643–1715), the pastor of the Church of the Holy Trinity (Trinitatiskirche) and the director of the Athenäum gymnasium in Gdańsk, had a major influence on the confessional situation in Gdaňsk at the end of the seventeenth century against the consistorial councilman of Berlin’s Church of St Nicholas (Nikolaikirche), Philipp Jacob Spener, the leading representative of Pietism. The dispute began in 1693 with the publication of Gründliche und wohlgesetzte Bedenken von der Pietisterei by Johann Benedict Carpzov, which was written at the Faculty of Theology in Leipzig. Schelwig penned the foreword to the work, putting himself in opposition to Pietism. For the same reason, he came into conflict in Gdańsk itself with Constantin Schütz, the pastor of the Church of the Virgin Mary, who advocated Pietism from the pulpit.
