“Revival” is a loaded word that evokes a variety of divergent images. For the historically-inclined, Jonathan Edwards’ (in)famous “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” sermon may come to mind. Contemporary readers may recall Billy Graham’s evangelistic crusades as a 20th-century image of revival. Though revival has maintained dominance in American religious life even to the present, it was equally formative for evangelicalism in Britain from the 1730s extending into the 19th century.
