The Perennial Revival; A Plea for Evangelism

Hardcover. Ex-Library. Bound in green cloth. Cover and spine have gilt lettering. 1916 edition. Excerpt: " EVANGELISM is, at this moment, the watchword of the churches. For the first time in many decades the watchword is worthy the followers of the Nazarene. With a strange unanimity conservatives and critics alike have accepted the term, and with one voice are calling for evangelism. Do not ask what we mean by the term; that would divide our forces instantly into many factions. It is not to be expected that the verbal inspirationist and the destructive critic will accept common definitions of any theme. And yet even these may agree in their desire for a revival of the religion of Christ which shall be potent and permanent, provided the word "revival" is kept strictly to its original meaning. It is not to the term itself, but to the uses to which it has been put, that many object. They say it often describes a condition of unreasonable excitement produced by appeals to the emotions of men, and destined to end in little or no lasting good. Occasions of complaint at this point have not been wanting." 229pp.CONDITION: Covers and spine have mild edgewear.
