Revival & Revivalism: The Making and Marring of
American Evangelicalism, 1750-1858
Iain H. Murray
'Anyone interested in revivals of
religion, whether that interest grows primarily out of the academy or the
church, will find Revival and Revivalism a valuable new resource.'
Professor Garth M. Rosen, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.

Marrying careful historical research to
popular and relevant presentation, Revival & Revivalism traces the
spiritually epoch-making events of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries
through the eyes of those who lived at their centre.
Fundamental to the book's thesis is a
rejection of the frequent identification of 'revival' with 'revivalism.' The
author demonstrates that a common understanding of the New Testament idea od
revival was prevalent in most denominations throughout the period 1750-1858.
Revivalism, on the other hand, is different both in its origin and in its
tendencies. Its ethos is man-centered and its methods too close to the
manipulative to require a supernatural explanation. |
