A History of American Revivals

The title of this book well describes its contents, ‘A History Of American Revivals, With Their Philosophy And Methods.’ Written in 1877 it covers revivals that occurred in the ministries of George Whitefield, the Tennants, James McGready in the 1800 revival, Asahel Nettleton, Daniel Baker, Charles Finney, Edward Payson Hammond, the 1857-8 prayer revival and the Moody and Sankey campaigns.

Thomson concludes the book with chapters on various observations of revivals, like the place of music and singing, the centrality of the Scriptures and Bible study, conducting inquiry meetings, the ministry of women in revivals and so on.

An altogether helpful volume, wide in its scope and wise in its application.
