Christian hedonism is a Christian doctrine believed by some evangelicals, more specifically those of the Reformed tradition especially in the circle of John Piper. The term was coined by Reformed Baptist pastor John Piper in his 1986 book Desiring God based on Vernard Eller's earlier use of the term hedonism to describe the same concept.Template:Sfn Piper summarizes this philosophy of the Christian life as "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him."
