The Universal Objective Justification stormtroopers used to show up rattling their light sabres every time I questioned their non-Christian doctrine. They are getting tame because the laity have challenged them successfully so many times. Well read laymen got me interested in the topic, which I sensed was just as explosive as criticizing Church Growth.
I used to think the basic answer to UOJ springing up in the mid-19th century was a doctrinal shift away from the Book of Concord. The history and influence of Pietism is the key. More will be coming out to show how true this is.
