The Revival movement was a pivotal moment in the life of Protestantism during the first half of the 19th century, and particularly for evangelicalism. Yet, as a multifaceted phenomenon, this movement has not received the attention it deserves from scholars.
This book offers a collection of essays exploring the international dimensions of the Geneva branch of the Revival, jointly addressing its lineages, ramifications, and ecclesiastical, theological, and social implications. It provides an overview of the spread and development of the Revival.
Geneva in several different linguistic and geographical areas, on several key figures of the movement, and on themes where it has made a substantial contribution to contemporary society.
This work, which brings together researchers from several countries, specialists in its different aspects, will attract the attention of anyone curious to discover the characteristics of a religious movement that will serve as an incubation ground for the French-speaking evangelical movement and will revolutionize the face of Protestant churches.
