The author demonstrates that a common understanding of the New Testament idea of 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 mancentred and its methods too close to the manipulative to require a supernatural explanation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIain Murray argues that an inability to recognize this distinction has led many to ignore the new and different teaching on evangelism and revival which began to be popularized in the 1820s. While the case against that teaching was argued almost universally by the leaders of the Second Great Awakening their testimony was submerged beneath propaganda which promised a ‘new era’ if only the churches would abandon the older ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, when that propaganda is largely discredited, there is a great need to rediscover the earlier understanding of revival possessed by those who most intimately experienced it. \u003cem\u003eRevival and Revivalism \u003c\/em\u003ewill do much to aid this rediscovery.

Murray has produced yet another historical study of outstanding quality. This is not merely a record of the church's past.
