Revival of Religion: Addresses by Scottish Evangelical Leaders Delivered in Glasgow in 1840

The subject of revival should be of great interest to every Christian. It is of particular importance in the church today. We need to face such questions as: Do we need revival? What is revival? Can anything be done to encourage revival? Few things more stimulate interest in and prayer for a work of revival than the record of what God has done in the past, and the stories of the lives he has used. But alongside the history of revivals it is vital that we should understand the biblical principles of revival. Rarely has that aim been better accomplished than in these studies. Originally delivered by men who knew both the doctrine and the experience of revival themselves, they cover every facet of the subject. Full of instruction and biblical historical illustration, they represent some of the finest material anywhere available on this subject. It is, as the new Introduction calls it, ‘a virtual systematic theology of revivals.’
