Certain reformers of the Lutheran Church in the seventeenth century were so called, as wishing to awaken a more religious spirit and greater strictness of life. Their efforts led to the growth of the more vehement and enthusiastic school, which found its great interpreter in the mystical Jacob Bohm or Behmen.
