Theologies of the American Revivalists : From Whitefield to Finney
Overview: For centuries, revivals - and the conversions they inspire - have played a significant role in American evangelicalism. Often unnoticed or unconsidered, however, are the particular theologies underlying these revivals and conversions of faith. In this careful study, church historian the author traces the fascinating story of American revival theologies from the First Great Awakening through the Second Great Awakening, from roughly 1740 to 1840. As the author uncovers this aspect of American religious history, the author offers a reconsideration of the theologies of figures such as George Whitefield, Jonathan Edwards, John Wesley, Joseph Bellamy, Samuel Hopkins, and Charles Finney. His scope also includes a diversity of movements, such as New Divinity theology, Taylorism, Baptist revival theology, Princeton theology, and the Restorationist movement. Readers will gain fresh insight into the complexity of revival theology and what it meant to become a Christian during the age of America's great awakenings.
