This book presents a historical and theological understanding of
how and why Christian revivalism came to be what it is, mainly a
series of ineffective meetings. The work shows how revivalism moved
from the Edwardian emphasis on the amazing works of God, as the
Puritans would have put it, to the "new methods" of Charles Finney
and revival as the reasonable works of man as befits Jacksonian
democracy. Later, D.L. Moody concentrated on methodology to such a
degree that revivals became big business and the focus of the
Gilded Age. With Billy Sunday, revivalism has lost all content and
has become nothing more than entertainment.
