| The name of Charles Finney is legendary amongst students of Revival. After experiencing a thorough Christian conversion he recieved a powerful infilling of the Holy Spirit and subsequently became an unusually gifted itinerant evangelist. It is claimed (not by himself) that over half a million people came to Christ through his ministry. His ministry was largely conducted in local revival campaigns in New York State in the years of 1824-1832. Revival phenomena like conviction of sin, crying out to God, and prostrations frequently accompanied his labours. Later, ill health caused him to travel less and he became a lecturer to ministry candidates and wrote this famous book, 'Lectures on Revival,' which has probably ignited more fires of revival than any other single piece literature in history. |  |
