9781330162798: Lectures on Revivals of Religion (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

Explore the pressing question of how genuine religious revivals work—and how to distinguish them from spurious excitement. This collection, drawn from Sprague’s lectures, examines the causes, challenges, and consequences of revival movements. It offers practical guidance for pastors, church members, and curious readers who want to understand revival ethics, church purity, and the role of divine agency and human instrumentality in renewal.

The volume brings together the author’s concerns about avoiding abuses, guarding church integrity, and guiding seekers toward true repentance and faith. It frames revivals within a careful, Bible-centered approach and includes an introductory essay and a set of letters from respected clergymen to illuminate historical context and the practices of revival across denominations.


  • Distinguishes genuine revivals from emotional excess and explains how to test spiritual fruits.

  • Discusses the balance between prayer, doctrine, and orderly church life during renewal.

  • Explores how to protect church purity while welcoming sincere conversions.

  • Provides historical insights from notable clergymen and practical considerations for contemporary readers.



Ideal for readers of religious history, church leadership, and anyone seeking a sober, scripture-centered view of revival.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The following Lectures were delivered during the preceding autumn and winter, to the congregation with which the author is connected, in the ordinary course of -his public ministrations. The grand object at which he has aimed has been to vindicate and advance the cause of genuine revivals of religion; and in doing this, he has endeavored to distinguish between a genuine revival and a spurious excitement; to defend revivals against the cavils of their opposers; to show the causes which operate to prevent or retard them; to exhibit the agency of God, and the instrumentality of men, by which they are produced and sustained; to guide the inquiring sinner and establish the young convert; to guard against the abuses to which revivals are liable, and to anticipate the glorious results to which they must lead.
