This new edition expands and updates the only general interpretation of the rise and influence of perfectionist revivalism in America and Europe. Fifteen years of expanding research on the holiness movement reinforce this volume's continuing seminal value to cultural and social research. The new concluding essay describes the history of the revival through the turn of the century. This book expands our understanding of the fragmentation and coalescence of American religion by analyzing the factors which created numerous new holiness denominations. Dieter also outlines the historical and theological factors that separate this largely Wesleyan and Methodist wing of evangelicalism from the fundamentalism of Reformed evangelicals. The identification of such nuances will prove especially helpful to those struggling with the extreme diversity in American religion, especially in evangelicalism. For students and scholars of American religious movements as well as students of the feminist, temperance, abolitionist, and populist movements in American society.
Author Biography: Melvin E. Dieter is Professor Emeritus of church history and historical theology at Asbury Theological Seminary.

The holiness revival of the nineteenth century
In his preface, Hardman's aim in writing this book is to "establish Finney's place in history" (p.ix).
Next to Finney's autobiography, this is the next essential book to read on his life. It is fair, balanced and, revealing not his strengths but weaknesses; it is thorough although, not tedious with small facts and dates. The book tells not only of Finney's relentless work in the Lord's vineyard, his successes and degrees of failures, but how much he was loved by many in America and in Europe, and the controversies he endured not only with grace but with a focus that could not be turned away from the work of saving souls.
Hardman has succeeded he placing a right emphasis on Finney's stature and influence in, at least, American and Europe, an influence that is even today, 145 years after his death, reflected in how the Church does evangelism, works for the salvation of men as sinners, and continues to rekindle in the hearts of succeeding generations the desire and need for revival.
