Explore the pressing question of how genuine religious revivals work—and how to distinguish them from spurious excitement. This collection, drawn from Sprague’s lectures, examines the causes, challenges, and consequences of revival movements. It offers practical guidance for pastors, church members, and curious readers who want to understand revival ethics, church purity, and the role of divine agency and human instrumentality in renewal.

It frames revivals within a careful, Bible-centered approach and includes an introductory essay and a set of letters from respected clergymen to illuminate historical context and the practices of revival across denominations.
