First Principles, p. 122. All the histories of the human race have as yet been external and physical. .. .M en do not even know what the mind is, what are its constituent powers, what are those faculties which produce the endless results of human experi ence. .. .W hen each of the constituent powers of the human mind shall have been scientifically ascertained, its laws, its combinations, its modifications registered, then a new era will dawn upon the science of history. HENRY WARD BEECHER, in 1857, introducing Conant snarrative of the American revival of that year. Religion must indeed be a thing of the heart; but in order to elevate it from the region of subjective caprice and waywardness, and to distinguish between that which is true and false in religion, we must appeal to an objective standard. That which enters the heart must first be discerned by the intelligence to be true. It must be seen as having in its own nature a right to dominate feeling and as constituting the principle by which feeling must be judged. PRINCIPAL JOHN CAIRD, Introduction to the Philosophy of Religion, p. 174. Quench not the Spirit, despise not prophesyings, but prove all things, hold fast that which is good.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores sociological interpretations of religious revivals, studying particular examples from history to demonstrate prevalent traits of such revivals. The author argues that revivals tend to develop sympathetic likemindedness and impulsive social action, especially within populations that have minimal inhibitory control. They also involve massing in a psychological crowd, heightening suggestibility and fostering emotional contagion. Nervous instability, imitativeness, and lack of inhibitive control are identified as primitive traits which often characterise those most affected by revivals. By applying psychological principles to historical examples, this book provides new insights into the nature and impact of religious revivals and their significance in the broader context of social movements and religious evolution.
