Preaching in Revival: Preaching and a Theology of Awakening

by Philip W. Keevil

Overview

Preaching in Revival explores the nature of religious awakening and its relationship to the art of preaching. Keevil identifies the problems of preaching in a post-modern society and specifically addresses what kind of preaching can promote religious awakening during troubling times. A comparative study of the two major traditions of modern Evangelicalism provides a historical perspective on the current state of preaching in America. The study concludes with a discussion of the psychological aspects of revival that will stimulate those seeking personal spiritual nourishment or those working toward the renewal of a larger congregation.
