The Church MUST Pray for Revival

In this discussion, I further examine Herman Hanko's charge that all revival was revivalism. And define the terms and answer the label he has put upon those who favor it. In this discussion I examine Charles Hodge's The Great Revival as it was published to the website of the Trinity Foundation another group that also does not believe in historic revivals. I discuss that they only published an edited 14 pages of the original 89 of Hodge's text. They leave out this last paragraph as it refutes any idea that Hodge did not believe in revivals. "In many places there was little of these evils, (aberrations in the Great Awakening especially in New Jersey and Virginia. Dickinson and Davies successfully resisted their inroads within the sphere of their influence. And in many other places the soundness of the doctrines taught, the experience detailed, and the permanent effects produced, abundantly attest the genuineness of the revival. To the Presbyterian Church, particularly, it was the commencement of a new life, the vigor of which is still felt in all her veins .
