Charles Grandison Finney

"Finney's spiritual experience has become for many an ideal of Christian aspiration ... his ability to prevail with God in prayer and with men in the pulpit were extraordinary." - Christianity Today." He sought to reach the will through the mind. He believed that a commitment rooted primarily in emotional excitement was simply a confirmation in sin because it increased the will's bondage to feeling." -- Christianity Today.Charles Grandison Finney (1792-1875) is considered America's greatest revivalist, being credited with conversion of about half a million people, over one percent of the population of the United States in his day. Finney was a leading figure in the Second Great Awakening, which made America the most religious country in the world. His Rochester revival of 1830 was called "the greatest work of God and the greatest revival of religion that the world has ever seen in so short a time." Indeed, religion was the topic of conversation in the house, in the shop, in the office and on the street, and it is said that Rochester's jail was empty for years afterwards. Finney's influence on America went beyond religion. He was a committed abolitionist, a promoter of women's education, a professor of systematic theology and the second president of Oberlin College. Perry Miller, Pulitzer Prize winner and Harvard historian, asserts that it was not Jefferson, Madison, or Monroe who led America out of the eighteenth century but Charles Grandison Finney. Power from on High: Finney asserts that many Christians, and even Christian leaders, lacked "power from on high." In his view, "the baptism of the Holy Spirit" is more than speaking in tongues, but also, and more importantly, it is the ability to live lives of increasing holiness. In this book he describes what it is, how to receive it, what the impediments are, and how to live by it. Principles of Prayer: Finney credited the remarkable revivals he was responsible for largely to prayer. These lectures are his clear concise guide to prayer. In these brief intensely practical much-loved works, Finney writes with the concise precision of a lawyer and the power of one extraordinarily transformed by prayer and the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Written by a Presbyterian preacher in the 1800's this book is revered by some and considered heresy by others. The arguments given in Finney's various lectures will cause many to consider their own positions and seek to justify what they believe. Finney deals with many different subjects going from moral law, government, love, depravity and other diverse but important subjects. Regardless of what your own position on these subjects are, this work is a good masterpiece of religious thought but the ideas and reasons for Finney's arguments may leave theologians wondering if such thinking is something we should be keeping around.

The Power of God at WorkCharles Finney's ministry led to some of the most amazing revivals that have ever occurred in the United States or England. In Holy Spirit Revivals, Finney recalls those events, revealing the secrets that led to the

ExcerptThere are two extremes in religion, equally false and equally fatal. And there are two classes of hypocrites that occupy these two extremes. The first class make religion to consist altogether in the belief of certain abstract doctrines, or what they call faith, and lay little or no stress on good works. The other class make religion to consist altogether in good works, (I mean, dead works) and lay little or no stress on faith in Jesus Christ, but hope for salvation by their own deeds. The Jews belonged generally to the last-mentioned class. Their religious teachers taught them that they would be saved by obedience to the ceremonial law. And therefore, when Paul began to preach, he seems to have attacked more especially this error of the Jews. He was determined to carry the main question, that men are justified by faith in Jesus Christ, in opposition to the doctrine of the scribes and pharisees, that salvation is by obedience to the law. And he pressed that point so earnestly, in his preaching and in his epistles, that he carried it, and settled the faith of the church in the great doctrine of justification by faith. And then certain individuals in the church laid hold of this doctrine and carried it to the opposite extreme, and maintained that men are saved by faith altogether, irrespective of works of any kind. They overlooked the plain principle, that genuine faith always results in good works, and is itself a good work.
