Marrying careful historical research to popular and relevant presentation, Revival and Revivalism traces the spiritually epoch-making events of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries through the eyes of those who lived at their centre. Fundamental to the book’s thesis is a rejection of the frequent identification of ‘revival’ with ‘revivalism’. The author demonstrates that a common understanding of the New Testament idea of revival was prevalent in most denominations throughout the period 1750-1858. Revivalism, on the other hand, is different both in its origin and in its tendencies. Its ethos is man centred and its methods too close to the manipulative to require a supernatural explanation. Iain Murray argues that an inability to recognize this distinction has led many to ignore the new and different teaching on evangelism and revival which began to be popularized in the 1820s. While the case against that teaching was argued almost universally by the leaders of the Second Great Awakening their testimony was submerged beneath propaganda which promised a ‘new era’ if only the churches would abandon the older ways. Today, when that propaganda is largely discredited, there is a great need to rediscover the earlier understanding of revival possessed by those who most intimately experienced it. Revival and Revivalism will do much to aid this rediscovery. Powerfully presented, it contains a message of major importance for contemporary Christians.

______________

Iain Murray, from 1956, was for three years assistant to Dr Lloyd-Jones at Westminster Chapel and there, with the late Jack Cullum, founded the Banner of Truth Trust in 1957. He left Westminster in 1961 for a nine-year pastorate at Grove Chapel, Camberwell. With the world-wide expansion of the Trust, Iain Murray became engaged full-time in its ministry from 1969 until 1981 when he responded to a call from St Giles Presbyterian Church, Sydney, Australia. Now based again in the UK, he and Jean live in Edinburgh. He has written many titles published by the Trust, in whose work he remains active. He is still writing.

‘I have always been bothered by the thought that men in the 20th and 21st centuries have worn the hat of “revivalist,” as if they could start a revival anywhere they go. I saw revival as something so obscure in its meaning, and so artificial in its methods, that I doubted its very existence, regarding the Awakenings as simply man-made circuses with a religious flavor, when revivalists had more success than they do today. I arrived at the conclusion that true revival must not exist. I had no idea that this idea of man-made revival (revivalism) was a fairly new concept, and that in days gone by, men that rejected it as false embraced something else as true revival. This is what I discovered as I read the first chapters of Iain Murray’s “Revival and Revivalism.” I realized what I had known as revival was actually revivalism. In a nutshell, revivalism holds that through methods and personality, a person can bring ‘revival’ anywhere he goes, anytime he chooses. This idea came to be during and after the Awakenings, when men wanted to start movements like these in their own power. Revival, on the contrary, holds that the sovereign God chooses to expand the Spirit’s influence at certain times, resulting in mass conversions and spiritual growth of believers. Though He always uses the preaching of the Word, it is still not a predictable event, since personality, high-pressure methods, and emotional hysteria do not change the fact that revival only comes when God, of His own volition, chooses to bestow it. Is revival a work of man, or a work of God? Before you answer, you should read Murray’s work on the subject. You will not be disappointed.’ David J. Harris

This is What You Need on Those Cold Winter Nights!
Color: White, Size: Throw-50"x60"
This Touchat 1000GSM Faux Fur Throw Blanket is absolutely incredible and one of the softest, coziest blankets I’ve ever owned! The thickness and quality are immediately noticeable the moment you touch it. It feels luxuriously plush, warm, and incredibly comforting. The faux fur texture is beautiful and looks very high-end, adding a stylish and elegant touch to the room while also being amazingly functional for cold nights. The blanket has a nice heavy weight to it that makes it feel extra cozy and relaxing without being too overwhelming. I love curling up with this blanket while watching TV, reading, or sleeping. It provides outstanding warmth and comfort and feels like wrapping yourself in pure softness. Even after use, it maintains its fluffy texture and doesn’t shed like some faux fur blankets do. The quality truly exceeded my expectations. The stitching is well done, the material feels durable, and it looks far more expensive than it actually is. It would also make an amazing gift because it feels so luxurious and comforting. Highly recommend this blanket to anyone wanting something extra warm, thick, soft, and beautiful for their home. Absolutely worth every penny!

Stunning, soft & well made
Color: White, Size: Throw-50"x60", Color: White, Size: Throw-50"x60"
This blanket is beautiful! Soft on the back side and the feel of the fur is thick and real feeling. Looks absolutely stunning with my velvet pillows also from Amazon. Blanket is a good size for an adult and warm too. The overall look is very high end IMO. I see this blanket as being well made and something that will last. Overall I'm super pleased and would recommend to a friend! I will probably buy another for the bed.

Luxury-so much luxury
Color: White, Size: Throw-50"x60", Color: White, Size: Throw-50"x60"
Love this blanket. Very warm,thick and heavy,lux fur feels real&soft even after washing(4 washings to date). One side it the fur,the reverse side is a suede-like material that helps it adhere to the bed couch whatever. In between is a thick duvet like filling. The only caveat and it is minor is that the fur is quite slippery. If used as a tire over a couch your guest will be sliding off 😁. Otherwise this throw is a dream. Well worth the money
