Quote
The revival—sometimes called “The Third Great Awakening”—lasted nearly two years, and between 500,000 and 1,000,000 people were said to have been converted. Out of it came the largest outlay of money for philanthropic and Christian causes America had yet experienced.

Wayfarer, I'm sorry to be negative but I'm a little down on this one it sounds like the beginning of the social gospel of which Walter Rauschenbush is said to be the father of. Note page vii, viii of the link below.


Thanks, William

CHRISTIANITY AND THE SOCIAL CRISIS
BY WALTER RAUSCHENBUSCH
PROFESSOR OF CHURCH HISTORY IN ROCHESTER THEOLOGICAL
SEMINARY
The theology was based on the brotherhood of all men and a universal love of God for all men. It was a denial not only of the reality of sin and the substitutionary atonement of Christ, but also of Christ’s divinity, His resurrection from the dead, and His sovereign rule from God’s right hand.
