As the article points out, revivalism as understood in the 20th century is effectively dead. Both in the U.S. and overseas. Your implicit question is more relevant: what will replace revivalism as the 'vital force' in modern Christianity? I already gave my answer several years ago: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Transformationalism My article is a bit dated, but it prefigures many of the trends discussed in the CT article. -- Ernie P. > > Billy > > ========================================= > > > 4/20/2012 9:56:30 A.M.
