Abstract: The missionary vision and desire for church renewal among young college students significantly influenced the revival of Christianity, particularly Protestantism, from the 16th century to the present day. Thus, comprehending the Protestant missionary drive necessitates an examination of the youth movement in the early and medieval churches, as it laid the foundation for this rebirth. This research focuses on selecting and identifying pre-modern youth movements and comprehending their contents. This paper will focus on Saint Anthony, the founder of the Eastern monastic movement, Saint Augustine, who significantly impacted the Western monastic movement, Saint Bernard and Saint Francis of the Middle Ages, the Brotherhood of Common Life (Devotio Moderna) just before the Reformation, and the rise of European universities.
Keywords: Anthony, Augustine, Bernard, Francis, Devotio Moderna, university.
