Primitive Traits in Religious Revivals is a book written by Frederick Morgan Davenport, which explores the phenomenon of religious revivals and the primitive traits that are often present in them. The book is divided into three parts, with the first part providing an overview of religious revivals and the different types that exist. The second part delves deeper into the primitive traits that are often associated with these revivals, such as emotionalism, ecstatic experiences, and a focus on the supernatural.The third part of the book looks at the relationship between religion and society, and how religious revivals can impact social and cultural norms. Davenport draws on a range of historical and contemporary examples to illustrate his points, from the Great Awakening in America to the Pentecostal movement in the 20th century.Overall, Primitive Traits in Religious Revivals offers a fascinating insight into the complex world of religious revivals and the role they play in shaping society and culture. It is a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the intersection of religion and society, and the ways in which primitive traits continue to influence our beliefs and behaviours today.1905. A study in mental and social evolution. The author endeavored to present a sociological interpretation of religious revivals. He aimed at a true scientific description, beginning with a provisional discrimination of the whole subject, continuing with an inductive investigation of particulars, and concluding with so much of explanation and practical suggestion as appears to flow naturally from the concrete material.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
