About this book
Is there room for revival for Reformed Christians? In Revival: Spiritual Awakening in the Reformed Tradition, historian Michael Haykin examines awakenings heralded by Calvinist ministers, including Jonathan Edwards, George Whitefield, and more, to answer with a resounding “Yes!” After examining the Holy Spirit’s outpourings during the Reformation and English Puritanism, Haykin focuses on two remarkable moments of renewal in the eighteenth century: the Great Awakening and the revival of the Particular Baptists in the British and Irish archipelago. As you read, you will learn how to discern the difference between man-made excitement and the Holy Spirit’s awakening work.
