真正的复兴 Revival and Revivalism

从1750年到1858年的美洲福音派历史与分析

评 论

《真正的复兴》是教会史研究领域的经典，不仅记录了教会的过去，更是开启当代福音派运动及其深层次需要的钥匙。当今每个渴望教会复兴的基督徒都应阅读本书。
——傅格森（救赎主神学院系统神学教授/《磐石之上》与《日光之上》作者）

本书依据史实分析18-19世纪的美洲福音派复兴运动，指明如何区分“真正的复兴”与“奋兴运动”，以及此差异对今日教会的重大影响。这是精研复兴运动史的杰作，是苏醒人心的暮鼓晨钟，是期盼教会复兴者必读之作!
——吕沛渊（威斯敏斯特神学院博士）

《真正的复兴》一书，我早已拜读过英文原著，受益匪浅。不管是在神学的正统性上，还是在历史的客观性上，此书都属于经典之作。真正的“复兴”，永远是“上帝神奇的工作”，不是来自人为的操纵和宣传所造成的各种各样的“奋兴”。“复兴”的共同点就是：“相信上帝在他的话语上永远信实，相信基督已从死里复活，相信圣灵已被赐下以确保上帝的国度会不断扩展”；而人为的“奋兴”则是“情绪性的、出于人为操控的事情”。真正的复兴所代表的是“思想”，是真 理方面的发现和回归，最终也落实在生命的改变和美德的增加上。因此，真正的复兴来自圣灵大能的降下，使人真正认罪、悔改，使周围的世界出现“整体性的变革”。中国教会正在经历真正的“复兴”，但也不乏各种形式的人为的“奋兴”。唯愿默里先生此书中译本的出版，能够帮助中国教会识别何谓真正的“复兴”和人为的“奋兴”，在复兴的烈火中能够既有火热的心志，同时保持头脑的冷静和清醒，消除各种山寨版的“复兴”和“基督教”，使中国教会和社会更多得蒙真理的光照与祝福！
——王志勇（香港雅和博圣约书院院长/美国主恩基督教会主任牧师）

內容簡介

“决志信主”等同于悔改归信吗？复兴是情绪化的吗？复兴是人为操作的吗？复兴是可以复制的吗？真正的复兴必定会带来生命的改变和美德的增加。因此，真正的复兴来自圣灵大能的降下，使人真正认罪、悔改，使周围的世界出现“整体性的变革”。

伊恩•默里分析了1750年到1858年在美国大部分宗派中出现的复兴运动，用大量历史事实推论得出复兴与奋兴之间的差别。帮助读者去伪存真，认识真正的复兴。

The History and Analysis of American Evangelicalism from 1750 to 1858
Comment

"True Revival" is a classic in the field of church history research. It not only records the past of the church, but is also the key to the contemporary evangelical movement and its deep-seated needs. Every Christian today who desires the revival of the church should read this book.
——Fugesen (Professor of Systematic Theology at Redeemer Theological Seminary/Author of "On the Rock" and "On the Sun")

Based on historical facts, this book analyzes the American evangelical revival movement in the 18th and 19th centuries, and points out how to distinguish between "real revival" and "revival movement," and the significant impact of this difference on the church today. This is a masterpiece of studying the history of the revival movement, a wake-up call to people’s hearts, and a must-read book for the revival of the church!
——Lu Peiyuan (Doctor of Westminster Theological Seminary)

I have read the original English book "True Revival", and I have benefited a lot. Whether in theological orthodoxy or historical objectivity, this book is a classic. The real "revival" is always "God's miraculous work", not from the various "revival" caused by man-made manipulation and propaganda. The common denominator of "revival" is: "believe that God is always faithful in his words, believe that Christ has risen from the dead, and believe that the Holy Spirit has been given to ensure that God's kingdom will continue to expand"; and the artificial "revival" It is "emotional and manipulative." The real revival represents "thought", the discovery and return of truth, and it is ultimately implemented in the change of life and the increase of virtue. Therefore, the real revival comes from the powerful downfall of the Holy Spirit, which enables people to truly confess their sins and repentance, and make the world around them "integrally change."The Chinese church is experiencing a real "rejuvenation", but there are also various forms of artificial "resurrection." I only hope that the publication of the Chinese translation of Mr. Murray’s book can help the Chinese church to identify what is meant by real “revival” and artificial “rejuvenation”. In the fire of revival, it can have a fiery aspiration and at the same time keep its head calm and clear. , Eliminate all kinds of copycat versions of "Renaissance" and "Christianity", so that the Chinese church and society will be more enlightened and blessed by the truth!
——Wang Zhiyong (President of Yahebo Covenant College in Hong Kong/Senior Pastor of Christ Church in the United States)

Is "deciding to believe in the Lord" the same as repentance and conversion? Is the revival emotional? Is the revival man-made? Can revival be copied? A true revival will surely bring about a change in life and an increase in virtue. Therefore, the real revival comes from the powerful downfall of the Holy Spirit, which enables people to truly confess their sins and repentance, and make the world around them "integrally change."

Ian Murray analyzed the revival movement that appeared in most sects in the United States from 1750 to 1858, and used a lot of historical facts to infer the difference between revival and revival. Help readers to get rid of the falsehood and keep the truth and realize the real revival.
