Charles Finney (1792-1875) was a 19th Century revivalist who was heavily influenced by Pelagian theology from the 1st Century. He believed that if certain techniques and methods were used, God could be persuaded to send revival and people could be manipulated into becoming Christians. His approach is still prevalent today throughout the world, and has done much harm in giving people a false sense of spiritual assurance.
Synopsis
What is revival? Should we expect it today?
Join Jeremy Walker on a journey through church history, from Pentecost to the present day, exploring the dynamic and sovereign work of God in his people and in nations. Visit key places and periods such as England during the Reformation, America in 1734, Wales in the Evangelical Awakening, Northern Ireland in 1859, the Scottish Hebrides in 1949.
Expert contributors expound key lessons we can learn for today about the means and instruction the Lord provides in his Word for seeking him. God has done mighty acts in the past, and he can do so again.
