Persons interested in the Cane Ridge Revival will surely find this to be a helpful book. The author does an excellent job discussing the background, events, people and places leading up to and during the great revival in Bourbon County, Kentucky in the early 19th century. In addition to aiding my understanding of the Revival, the author provides excellent analysis of causes of divisions in the American Presbyterian church in the late 18th and early 19th century. I found the book to be very readable and is enhanced with a nice index. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

What happened at or near the Cane Ridge meeting house in central Kentucky in August 1801 has become a legendary event in American religious history. Never before in America had so many thousands of people gathered for what became much more than the planned Presbyterian communion service. Never had so many families camped on the grounds. Never before had so many people been affected with involuntary physical exercises--sobbing, shouting, shaking, and swooning. And never before in American had a religious meeting led to so much national publicity, triggered so much controversy, or helped provoke such important denominational schisms. Paul Conkin tells the story of Cane Ridge in all its dimensions. The backdrop involves the convoluted history of Scotch-Irish Presbyterianism in America, the pluralistic religious environment in early Kentucky, and the gradual evolution of a new form of evangelical religious culture in eighteenth-century America. The aftermath was complex. Cane Ridge helped popularize religious camps and influenced the subsequent development of planned camp meetings. It exposed deep and developing divisions of doctrine among Presbyterian clergy, and contributed to the birth of two new denominations --Christians (Disciples of Christ) and Cumberland Presbyterians and furthered the growth of a new revival culture, keyed to a crisis-like conversion experience, even as it marked a gradual decline in sacramentalism.

The author discussion the success in ministers during the revivals converting black, the controversies between ministers regarding how a revival ought to and ought not to be conducted; the excitements and reactions in consequence of the preaching and the perceived presence of God, disagreements regarding how a minister ought to conduct his preaching, disputes between the "New Light" and the more traditional orthodoxy of the Presbyterian Church on religious practice and doctrine; the subject of doctrine being the most interesting to me.
There is much in here to digest in only 177 pages but I think it is an important read for anyone interested in the subject of revivals. ( )
