Awakenings in America and the Jesus People Movement

Awakenings--times when God's Spirit is powerfully poured out and many enter the kingdom of God--come and go unpredictably. Some are large, others small, and all are unique to Christianity. Kent Philpott examines the criteria for what constitutes a genuine moving of the Spirit of God as outlined by Jonathan Edwards, Frank Beardsley, and Iain Murray. He also examines the bright and dark sides of awakenings, and he does not spare the Jesus People Movement.
