Lectures on Revivals of Religion

Charles Grandison Finney (1792-1875) was a Presbyterian minister and a leader of the Second Great Awakening in the United States. He has been called “The Father of Modern Revivalism”. These powerful lectures deal with religious revival, how to encourage or promote it, and explaining how a revival experience may be maintained in the life of the Christian and in the life of the church. The author considered a religious revival as a new beginning of obedience to God. However, a revival cannot take place without the cooperation of the penitent sinner, so Finney emphasizes the work of man alongside the work of God.
