Biblical Revival Timeline

There is considerable difference of opinion concerning which Old Testament events should be described as revivals. Horatius Bonar enumerates fourteen, Ernest Baker, twelve; Wilbur Smith, eight and Earle E. Cairns, twelve.

We have compiled an integrated list based on the above plus our Scripture research. For more expanded notes and explanations please go here for Old Testament and here for New Testament.

All dates are approximate and are taken from the Biblehub website here
