‘One of the best treatments of revival and the power of the Holy Spirit I have ever come across. It most closely resembles my beliefs with regard to this doctrine.’ — PAUL WASHER
Book Description
‘It is noteworthy that there are more books describing revivals than there are those that deal with their biblical basis. That may be because to read about revivals is more pleasant, and initially, perhaps, more inspiring, than understanding the struggle to establish a biblical theology which explains and justifies the phenomenon. But in the long run it has to be the latter which is more important. This book aims to supply that lack.’ — IAIN MURRAY

One of the few books I have read multiple times. Careful, scholarly, interesting and inspiring, it always inspires me to pray.

This book was a good follow-up to “Revival and Revivalism” by the same author. Whereas in “Revival and Revivalism” he focused on the history of revival, in this book he focuses on the Biblical and theological definition of it. He begins by presenting three different views of revival, then identifying the correct one. He touches upon the negative influence of Charles Finney with his new measures and aberrant teachings. He identifies the subordinate role of man in revival and the prominence of God’s sovereignty. As a pastor of 35+ years, I love how he stresses the critical role of the “unction” of the Holy Spirit in preaching. He speaks of keeping religious experience in a Biblical perspective, with the focus always being on the Gospel. He devotes several pages to the dangers of “fanaticism.” Another term for the same thing would be “sensationalism.” It’s basically those things that happen in connection with revival that can overshadow devotion to Jesus himself and the truth of Scripture. Murray closes by listing six benefits of revival on individuals, churches, and communities. I very much appreciated the appendix on extraordinary gifts. In the past few decades, it’s nearly impossible to speak of God’s Spirit moving powerfully without some notion of extraordinary gifts coming to mind. He handles it well. Murray has done an excellent job here in this book. The church needs more of this Biblical understanding of revival, not the notion of protracted meetings, high-energy speakers, and emotional altar calls. I recommend it.

I agree with P. Washer. A helpful book to someone who is confused about the doctrine of the Holy Spirt and wants solid truth and clarity in our times, when the Holy Spirt is being blapshmed actively.
