| Summary: | This article is an exercise in fides quaerens intellectum about revival in the Wesleyan-Holiness tradition. It examines accounts of revival by early British and American Methodists - John Wesley, Francis Asbury, and Luther Lee - and identifies the common elements of their descriptions. It then seeks to provide a theological understanding of these revivals by drawing upon distinctive ideas from Wesleyan historical and systematic theologians: divine omnipresence, free grace, divine holiness and love, and the means of grace. Finally, it offers a theological definition of revival from a Wesleyan-Holiness perspective and briefly explores implications for today. |
