Description
The final issue in our three-part series on revivals, Christian History #153 dives into global revivals of the modern period, particularly the twentieth century that has been called the “Century of the Holy Spirit.” After exploring the beginnings of modern revival among the Moravians and in movements of the early 1800s, CH follows the thread of renewal into the turn of the century.
In the 1900s, an explosion of awakenings took place in every corner of the world, from Wales to Los Angeles to Pyongyang, Korea. We follow a cutting-edge evangelist in pre communist China, reports of miracles in Indonesia, and the East African church coming to grips with its colonial past. We survey the development of the modern Pentecostal movement from a renovated stable on Azusa Street to faith-healing ministries, charismatic groups in mainline churches, and the burgeoning Third Wave. We consult revival experts to identify historical patterns of revival and potential problems that believers and leaders alike must prevent.
Whether you are a proponent or skeptic when it comes to revivals, this issue will shed light on the fascinating story of modern revivals and their profound influence on Christian history.
