The world gives Christianity no future and evangelicals themselves doubt whether the cause of Christ can ever attain to a greater triumph before his Second Advent. Must the prospects for succeeding generations be darker than those of today? Can we even expect any period of history to intervene before the Advent of Christ? How can readiness for Christ&#8217;s coming be consistent with the belief that revivals are yet to be given to the Church? Such questions are brought to the fore in this book and the author, employing both exposition of Scripture and much historical and biographical material, sets out the case for believing that it is not &#8216;orthodox&#8217; to indulge in gloom over the prospect for Christianity in the world.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"toctoggle\">Table of Contents <a class=\"button\" href=\"#toc\">Expand \u2193<\/a><\/h3>\n<div id=\"toc\" class=\"table-of-contents\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Introduction<\/td>\n<td>xiii<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<td><em>Revival Christianity: England<\/em><\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<td><em>Revival Christianity: Scotland<\/em><\/td>\n<td>19<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<td><em>Unfulfilled Prophecy: The Development of the Hope<\/em><\/td>\n<td>37<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<td><em>Apostolic Testimony: The Basis of the Hope<\/em><\/td>\n<td>57<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<td><em>The Hope and Puritan Piety<\/em><\/td>\n<td>85<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<td><em>The Eighteenth-Century Awakening: The Hope Revived<\/em><\/td>\n<td>107<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>7<\/td>\n<td><em>World Missions: The Hope Spreading<\/em><\/td>\n<td>129<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>8<\/td>\n<td><em>The Hope and Scotland&#8217;s Missionaries<\/em><\/td>\n<td>167<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>9<\/td>\n<td><em>The Eclipse of the Hope<\/em><\/td>\n<td>195<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>10<\/td>\n<td><em>Christ&#8217;s Second Coming: The Best Hope<\/em><\/td>\n<td>219<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>11<\/td>\n<td><em>The Prospect in History: Christ our Hope<\/em><\/td>\n<td>233<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>APPENDICES<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><em>John Howe<\/em> on The Outpouring of the Holy Spirit<\/td>\n<td>255<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><em>C.
