Lectures on Revivals of Religion is a religious book by Charles G. Finney, an American Presbyterian minister who was known as the "Father of Old Revivalism." Finney departs strongly from traditional Calvinist theology by teaching that people have a completely free will to choose salvation. He taught that preachers had vital roles in producing revival. Finneys theory of atonement combines principles from different historical theories, notably the governmental and the moral influence theories, but cant be associated solely to one of them. A major theme of his preaching is the need for what he called conversion. He also focused on the responsibilities that converts had to dedicate themselves to disinterested benevolence and to work to build the kingdom of God on earth.
Joya indiscutible de la literatura satírica, la corrosiva novela de Charles G. Finney es un clásico intemporal a la altura de Jonathan Swift o Lewis Carroll. Esta edición cuenta con un prólogo de Rodrigo Fresan, una nueva (y completa) traduccion de Mario Jurado y las ilustraciones originales realizadas por Boris Artzybashef.
Trata de la gran importancia que tiene la enseñanza bíblica del arrepentimiento como una clave en la salvación del ser humano. El arrepentimiento verdadero es para salvación; el falso es para muerte. Ambos deben ser conocidos para evitar falsa religiosidad.
