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.

In her 1917 sermon Lost and Restored, Pentecostal evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson claimed that God had given her a vision showing the fall of the Christian Church from its original purity and the gradual restoration of that original purity in successive stages. Using the prophetic images of agricultural blight and recovery in Joel chapter two, she detailed the fall of the church after the apostolic age to its complete corruption in the Middle Ages. Then, beginning with the Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth century, she described the church's gradual restoration to purity and power with the influence of the Reformers, continuing through Wesley and the holiness movement, and culminating with the Pentecostal movement of her own lifetime.

America in the late nineteenth century was undergoing enormous societal shifts. Immigration and urbanization were changing the face of the country. New discoveries and new perspectives on old verities stretched its mind and stirred its soul. The recently concluded Civil War left America bloodied, its self-confidence bruised, and its capacity for controversy weakened. American churches responded to these upheavals in different ways with long-lasting consequences. The reaction of one small branch of American Protestantism rooted in the broader stream of Methodism opens a window into these troubled times. This book explores how the American holiness movement navigated the societal maelstrom and the role the Bible played in charting its course. The holiness movement’s response illustrates the interaction between the Bible and culture. It sheds light on the development of the movement’s younger cousin, Pentecostalism. It also adds texture to the Fundamentalist-Modernist Controversy, an important struggle that marked the early decades of the twentieth century and continues to shape America today.

Excerpt from The Holiness of the Church in the Nineteenth Century: Saintly Men and Women of Our Own Times The author puts forward no claim of presenting new material. He has only bound into a bouquet the flowers which others have found and gathered. May the bright hues and the fragrance of them convince the reader that such flowers thrive only in a garden that is watered by the dews of Heaven. In 1867, Dr. M. Scheeben anticipated our subject in a small brochure of 31 pages, entitled "Die Heiligkeit der Kirche im Neunzehnten Jahrhundert." Even then, it is true, this mark of its divine character was manifest in the Church of the nineteenth century, but the material available in proof of it was, of course, far less rich and abundant then than it is to-day. Hence the present work can hardly be thought superfluous. In 1901, the Congregation of Rites published a catalogue of all the processes of beatification and canonization in progress that year. (Catalogus ac Status causarum beatificationis Servorum Dei et Beatorum canonisationis, quae apud Sacram Rituum Congregationem per viam non-cultus incedunt. Anno MDCCCCI. Romae 1901. Typis Vaticanis.) This publication is the chief source for the names of those persons in the nineteenth century to whose holiness the Church has been petitioned to give official recognition. Since then many new processes have been introduced. Due notice has been given of these from time to time in the "Acta Apostolicae Sedis," and "Analecta Ecclesiastica" and in other periodicals.
