Revival and Awakening
This was a paper Bret wrote for his seminary class on the Classic Writings for Personal Devotion. In it, Bret tries to summarize Edwards’ thoughts on revival and awakening, both personal and corporate. It includes Bret’s understanding of Edwards’ thought on the relationship between Divine Sovereignty and human responsibility and action in revival and awakening, his views on how to judge if a revival was really a work of the Spirit of God or if it was merely a product of human emotion and activity, and his understanding of how Christians grow in their Christian walk.
