It explores Cennick's remarkable evangelistic work in Ireland, his close relationship with Count Zinzendorf, and the dynamic interplay between the Moravian and Methodist elements of his participation in the eighteenth-century revivals. Through extensive unpublished correspondence between Cennick and Zinzendorf, as well as Cennick's unique diary of his first stay in the continental Moravian centers of Marienborn, Herrnhaag, and Lindheim, the chapters provide a deep insight into the man and his times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Cennick emerges as a maverick personality at the forefront of several significant controversies of his era. The trajectory of his rise to prominence in the revivals is remarkable, characterized by its intensity, hybridity, and the exploration of various themes within the landscape of early evangelicalism. These themes include the eclectic sources of inspiration, the religious enthusiasm fostered in Anglican societies, the expansion of preaching talent, the social tensions unleashed by religious innovations, and the distinctive contribution of the Moravians during the 1740s and 1750s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book offers a significant re-evaluation of Cennick's spirituality, making it an invaluable resource for scholars of evangelical and church history. It sheds new light on the man's beliefs, practices, and the broader context of early evangelicalism, challenging prevailing narratives and prompting a deeper understanding of this important period in religious history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032105147\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Robert Edmund Cotter","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44104609497338,"sku":"9781032105147","price":147.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1650632065408_book.jpg?v=1650747206","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/john-cennick-17181755-methodism-moravianism-and-the-rise-of-evangelicalism-9781032105147","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
