| Publisher Description: The first book-length critical study of the theology of Charles G. Finney. Trained as a legal apprentice, Finney underwent a dramatic conversion to Christianity in 1821, at the age of 29. Throughout his long subsequent career as revivalist, professor, and president of Oberlin College, he produced an innovative evangelical theology that proclaimed religious revival and social reform as the legal means for establishing God's moral government on earth. |
