Evangelicals then and now
James Buchanan said of revival: 'It properly consists in two things: a general impartation of new life and vigour and power to those who are already of the number of God's people; and a remarkable awakening and conversion of souls who hitherto have been careless and unbelieving; in other words, it consists of a new spiritual life imparted to the dead, and a new spiritual health imparted to the living.'
Peter Jeffery
Revival has nothing to do with national temperament or characteristics. It comes to both the staid English lands and to the more excitable Celtic and Latin countries. In his book The Flaming Tongue, Dr. Edwin Orr traces revivals in the first half of the 20th century. He takes us to Wales, England, Korea, Scandinavia, Europe, North America, Latin America, Australia, South Africa, China and Japan.
