Baptists and Revivals

About this book

Since their notable influence during the mid-eighteenth century, revivals have been a key element in the Baptist story. Survey histories of Baptists often discuss the impact of the First and Second Great Awakenings on Baptist growth during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. But following those initial revivals the Baptist narratives often shift to other important subjects and neglect later revivals. Yet revivals have remained a significant means to Baptist growth. This book addresses the larger story of revivals in Baptist life from the Great Awakening to the present day across the globe. - back cover.
