1832 THE VOLUNTEER REVIVAL MAG. Charles G. Finney, New Measures, Cane Ridge, Etc.

A very scarce volume published at the height of the Second Great Awakening with incredible content related to local revivals, the controversies surrounding the new measures, Charles G. Finney, etc. Perhaps the primary periodical on the side of Asahel Nettleton, etc. See contents below. Perhaps irreplaceable. We have not handled it before. 

Rand, Asa. The Volunteer; Devoted to the Promotion of Revivals, Evangelical Doctrines, and Congregationalism. August 1832 through July 1833. 380 + 380pp.

Text is crisp and tightly bound; binding has boards detached and the half leather badly deteriorating. Well worth preserving. No other copies on the market at any price.

Contents include: Phenomena Attending Revivals [Cane Ridge, special influence of the Spirit, etc.], Protracted Meetings [Good, sane approach in a series of articles], Times of Refreshing, The Late Dr. Rice [of the Great Awakening], The Agency of the Spirit in Conversion, The Prevalence of New Doctrine [fascinating primary resource material interacting with Charles G. Finney, his quotation of articles from The Volunteer, etc.], Offensive Doctrines in the Time of Revival, A Vindication of the New Divinity Tried; Review of Mr. Rand's Strictures on a Sermon delivered by Charles G. Finney on Making a New Heart [extensive series], Who are Revival Men? Revivals in the Geneva Presbytery, The Late Revivals, Abstract of a Sermon by Charles G. Finney [this version on the controverted text apparently an otherwise unpublished version of Finney's Sermon], What is a Revival?, An Account of The Revival Tract Society, etc. etc. etc.
