Theology, hymnody, gender, warfare, politics and science are all taken into consideration. But the focus is on the landmark individuals, events and organizations that shaped the story of the beginnings of this vibrant Christian movement.The revivals in Britain and North America in the mid-eighteenth century proved to be foundational in the development of the movement, its ethos, beliefs and subsequent direction. In these revivals, the core commitments of evangelicals were formed that continue to this day. In this volume you will find the fascinating story of their formation, their strengths and their weaknesses, but always their dynamism. 274728 4 2004 The Rise of Evangelicalism: The Age of Edwards, Whitefield, and the Wesleys (Rise of Evangelicalism) total:13|5:2|4:6|3:5|2:0|1:0| 13 49 24 4 4 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Fri Jan 23 19:13:20 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 24 13:12:09 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Fri Mar 06 20:24:44 -0800 2009 Fri Mar 06 20:25:17 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Mon Nov 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Thu Mar 08 17:29:19 -0800 2007 Thu Mar 08 17:29:56 -0800 2007 4 0 false false Fri Aug 14 17:18:10 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 14 16:11:15 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Nov 11 19:45:26 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 11 19:45:26 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Sep 17 06:38:27 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 17 07:29:46 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri May 01 09:59:01 -0700 2009 Fri May 01 09:59:01 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Mar 25 20:47:37 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 25 20:47:37 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Feb 05 20:50:04 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 05 20:50:04 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Wed Dec 31 12:13:53 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 31 12:13:53 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Mon Dec 29 11:28:34 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 29 11:28:34 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sun Dec 21 12:49:14 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 21 12:49:16 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Sat Nov 15 12:57:40 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 15 12:57:40 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Sun Nov 09 11:59:26 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 09 11:59:36 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Wed Oct 15 19:23:50 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 15 19:23:50 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sat Jul 05 03:09:51 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 05 03:09:58 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Sat Jun 28 09:32:36 -0700 2008 Tue May 13 11:01:58 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 28 09:32:36 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Thu May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 14 16:53:06 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 01 09:45:38 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sat Apr 05 13:22:17 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 05 13:22:17 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sat Feb 02 22:54:38 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 02 22:54:38 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=283195
