Christian revivalism

Christian revivalism refers to a movement within Christianity that emphasizes a spontaneous, emotional response to faith, often characterized by large gatherings, intense worship, and a focus on personal conversion and renewal. It seeks to rekindle spiritual fervor among believers, encourage repentance, and promote evangelism, aiming to bring people into a deeper relationship with God. Revivals typically feature preaching, music, and community involvement, and have historically played a significant role in shaping the beliefs and practices of various Christian denominations, particularly in the United States from the 18th century onward.
