the history of and prospects for revival in the Church and the world Piggin, Stuart creator text Carlisle, UK Paternoster 2000 monographic xii, 251 p. ; pbk ; 23 cm. For far too many Christians today, revival is a distant and dusty phenomenon associated with the Great Awakening and movements in America and Wales over a hundred years ago. Drawing extensively from the theology of Jonathan Edwards and Martin Lloyd Jones, Stuart Piggin offers a systematic, biblical, and pastoral study of revival. He writes from the heard and heart, with plenty of lively illustrations and real life testimonies and quotations. Piggin defines revival, looks at its biblical basis, identifies the marks of genuine revival and studies the phenomenon thoroughly across historical and denominational lines.
