Abstract

This thesis examines revival methods in the context of the 'new measures controversy' in the Second Great Awakening, which pitted Charles Finney and Asahel Nettleton against one another. The revival methods at the heart of the controversy, along with the question of human ability in salvation, are analyzed from a biblical perspective. The methods of the two most prominent mass evangelists of the last sixty years, Billy Graham and Luis Palau, are also examined. The author's conclusion is that the two methods God universally uses to bring revival are faithful gospel preaching and the fervent prayers of God's people.
