The Holy Spirit in Revival.

Jonathan Edwards could arguably be called America's greatest theologian. His ministry in eighteenth-century New England was one of the chief means that the Spirit of God used to spark revivals in Northampton and the surrounding area and eventually what is known as the Great Awakening. These sweeping revivals brought many souls to Christ and Edwards ongoing ministry and extensive writings continued to have an impact on many others, both in America and throughout Europe.

Edwards wrote prolifically on many topics, from theology to creation and philosophy, but it is his writings on the Holy Spirit and revival that are some of his finest and most insightful. Responding to excesses and criticism during his own day, Edwards wrote very poignantly about both the reality and scope of the Spirit s work something he had seen first-hand and also the dangers associated with times of genuine revival.

Michael Haykin s study of Jonathan Edwards is interwoven with an acute understanding of both the primary texts such as Edwards landmark study of Christian spirituality, The Religious Affections and the historical context. Drawing on both of these, he presents a detailed analysis of the shape and content of Edwards theology, including an examination of his wife s experience of revival and his daughter s reflections on it. Jonathan Edwards had a heart devoted to the pursuit of the glory of God and this volume reflects something of that passion.


Review: This has to be the next best thing to reading Edwards and a lot easier. This is a great introduction to the man, his times, and his theology of revival and true spirituality.Edwards is generally recognised as America's greatest theologian . Experiencing revival he was in the best position to examine what of a genuine work of the Holy Spirit in revival and in the life of the individual. We can look with the certainty of history and see there was real revival at this time. living through it, things were not so clear. This uncertainty at the time is well described here. Edwards "Faithful Narrative"s of the revival is examined as is the "Religious Affection" which looks at what is genuine Christian experience. Haykin also explains why Edwards and nearly all his contemporaries believed the extraordinary gifts of the holy Spirit ceased with the days of the apostles. Extraordinary manifestations of the Spirit's power certainly did not. The legacy of Edwards is seen in the account of his "Humble Attempt" to promote concerts of prayer which lead to the modern missionary movement.

Review: I really appreciated this book and the work that Haykin put into succinctly summarizing some of Edwards' views. Specifically, Haykin does an excellent job of highlighting several of Edwards' works by compiling them efficaciously to portray the role that the Holy Spirit plays in revival. This book is a must for any theologian and pastor invested in church history, theology of revival, and pneumatology.
