Revival Mythology

from Theology Central Hosted by Theology Central Media | Confessional Theology & Critical Analysis

Six people gathered for prayer in New York City in 1857. Soon there were hundreds, then thousands. But what else was happening? In this episode, we examine the Fulton Street Revival, the financial panic surrounding its explosive growth, what the prayer meetings actually consisted of, and what happened afterward. We separate documented history from the religious mythology built around it—and ask what the numbers can actually prove. THEOLOGY CENTRAL A continuing journey through Scripture, theology, and the questions that challenge what we believe. Theology Central is an independent podcast devoted to biblical examination, theological discussion, and critical analysis.
