Christian hedonism

Christian hedonism

Christian hedonism is a Christian doctrine current in some evangelical circles, particularly those of the Reformed tradition. The term was coined by Reformed Baptist pastor John Piper in his 1986 book Desiring God. Piper summarizes this philosophy of the Christian life as "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him."[1] Christian Hedonism may anachronistically describe the theology of Jonathan Edwards.
