Peter Spaak

Peter Spaak (6 June 1696 - 2 December 1769) was a Swedish Protestant Reformer.

Challenging the Lutheran orthodoxy as an early proponent of freedom of religion in Sweden, he founded the society of Pietists based in the Diocese of Gothenburg, a society part of which was later integrated into the Church of Sweden.[1][2]
