Excellent biography of Finney and his participation and affect on American evangelicalism, it's practice, theology and even its politics. ( ) Hambrick-Stowe's account will appeal not only to readers with a special interest in Finney's life and thought but also to those who seek a better understanding of the historical roots of evangelicalism and the development of "American" theology in the nineteenth century. Finney's role in Presbyterian denominational conflicts; in the emergence of Congregationalism as a formal denomination; in shaping a revivalist style that continues to mark much evangelical preaching; and in the development of Oberlin College as a theological, educational, and social institution-especially as it related to the abolitionist movement and "sanctification"-make him a singularly important figure in the religious history of the United States. Hambrick-Stowe narrates his life with admirable clarity, places it in historical context, and provides a thorough bibliographical review for readers inclined to dig deeper. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Charles Grandison Finney was the foremost evangelist in the pre-Civil War United States. His revivals in the cities along the Erie Canal; his well-organized campaigns in Philadelphia, New York City, Boston, and the British Isles; his prominent pastorate at New York's Broadway Tabernacle; and his teaching career at Oberlin College exemplify the evangelical spirit that swept the country following the Second Great Awakening. This lively biography by historian Charles E. Hambrick-Stowe tells the story of Finney's remarkable life and offers fresh insights into the nature of evangelicalism and the nineteenth-century American experience. By using the life of the great revivalist and educator as a window into the soul of American evangelicalism, Hambrick-Stowe shows in striking ways how Finney displayed the characteristics of that broader movement, many of which continue to flourish in twentieth-century religious life. Based on a thorough reading of the Finney Papers, Finney's writings, contemporary sources, and modern historiography, this biography exhibits scholarly depth in a popular narrative that is meant to be read and enjoyed as well as studied. A map of Finney's evangelistic travels, portraits, and other illustrations enhance the text. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
