Primitive Traits in Religious Revivals: A Study in Mental and Social Evolution (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Rethinking revival: a careful look at how religious life evolves in modern times, from heart to society.
This book examines how the new evangelism aims to honor human will, promote rational faith, and connect personal growth with social responsibility. It argues that religious renewal comes not from dramatic crises but from thoughtful nurture, intelligent teaching, and a humane view of God.
Written as a study of mental and social evolution, it traces how revival movements shift from emotion to enduring character. The text emphasizes civic-minded faith, ethical living, and a church that serves both individuals and communities. It also explores how childhood spiritual formation and parent-led nurture lay the groundwork for lifelong trust in spiritual life.
- How faith can be rational, compassionate, and publicly engaged.
- The role of families and schools in shaping lifelong religious habits.
- Why personal character and social responsibility matter as much as devotion.
- A historical view of revival dynamics and their modern implications.
Ideal for readers curious about how religious experience adapts to contemporary life and what this means for churches, education, and personal growth.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores sociological interpretations of religious revivals, studying particular examples from history to demonstrate prevalent traits of such revivals. The author argues that revivals tend to develop sympathetic likemindedness and impulsive social action, especially within populations that have minimal inhibitory control. They also involve massing in a psychological crowd, heightening suggestibility and fostering emotional contagion. Nervous instability, imitativeness, and lack of inhibitive control are identified as primitive traits which often characterise those most affected by revivals. By applying psychological principles to historical examples, this book provides new insights into the nature and impact of religious revivals and their significance in the broader context of social movements and religious evolution.
