Reviews

"Caldwell's thorough scholarship covers a wide variety of disputed theological themes in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century revivalism, including the nature of conversion, conviction of sin, the bondage and freedom of the will, and sanctification. . . . The book is a helpful counterpoint to any who would argue that revivalism is historically short on theological underpinning, and deserves to be widely read and carefully studied."
*Tim Woolley, Wesley and Methodist Studies, Vol. 10, No. 1*

"Theologies of the American Revivalists is a landmark study that summarizes and synthesizes the best of recent scholarship about the history of revival theology."
*Nathan A. Finn, Southwestern Journal of Theology, Spring 2019*
