Jonathan Edwards experienced two seasons of revival during his pastorate in Northampton, New England - one in 1734-5 and the other a few years later in 1740-42.
In this book, written in 1742, he sought to defend the latter revival, which, though very widespread throughout New England, was not without its critics.
He gave insightful counsel regarding the discernment of true experiences of revival and those that were merely emotionalism or fanaticism.
Written to combat misunderstanding in his day, this book, along with his others on the same theme, has furnished succeeding generations with godly wisdom on the nature and experience of authentic Holy Spirit-inspired revival.
First published 1742. 378 pages.
