The Second Evangelical Awakening by J Edwin Orr and published by Classics.
The appearance of Dr Orr’s book on the religious revival which began in 1859 and swept through Great Britain and the U.S.A. was greeted with great enthusiasm on both sides of the Atlantic.
As an authenticate and well documented account of the events of that time which played such an enormous and significant part in the destiny of the British people, this volume has become an essential book for the student of Church History.
This edition has been revised and edited and it contains the majority of the work in previous editions, with the exception of having source quotes and footnotes removed. It is presented as an eminently readable story –
“which is lively, and well spiced with illustration” – and of absorbing interest throughout.
