Revival vs Revivalism

In this episode, we zoom into the two key figures of the second great awakening, Asahel Nettleton and Charles Finney. Nettleton was of the “old way,” much in the grain of Jonathan Edwards, believing that revival and conversion were sovereign works of God. Finney launched the “new way,” which believed revival could be manufactured by man. Though Finney was reported to have 250,000 converts, history shows that most were illegitimate. Nettleton was reported to have 25,000 converts, of which 90 percent or more were true converts.
