The Letter to the Romans stands as Paul's most significant message on how to begin and maintain a loving relationship with God and others. The Holy Spirit often leads those seeking to understand the essentials of saving and sanctifying faith to read Romans. Beginning with "Principles of Righteousness," Finney's Lessons on Romans presents an authoritative collection of Finney's teachings on how to live for Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Charles G. Finney became the greatest American preacher and theologian of the Nineteenth-Century. He traveled as an evangelist and revivalist in America and abroad, served in settled pastorates, taught as a professor of theology, promoted the abolition of slavery and equal rights, helped found and served as President of Oberlin College. Just as one cannot understand the Great Awakening without studying Jonathan Edwards, one cannot understand the great revivals and the theological and social movements in Nineteenth-Century America without studying Charles G. Finney. Because Finney's teachings remained true to the Bible and common sense, his message transformed thousands.
In this new Finney's Principles series book, the Study Questions by the editor and the Commentary by Henry Cowles will help you apply Finney's teachings.
The Expanded E-Book Edition of "Principles of Righteousness: Finney's Lessons on Romans, Volume I" will continue the Finney's Principles series, which began with the publication of Finney's "Principles of Prayer" in 1980. L.G. Parkhurst, Jr., the compiler and editor of the Finney's Principles series, will complete Finney's Lessons on Romans, with "Principles of Peace: Volume II" and "Principles of Joy in the Holy Spirit: Volume III". The Expanded E-Book Edition of "Principles of Righteousness" contains two bonus lessons from "Principles of Peace" and "Principles of Joy in the Holy Spirit."To learn more about the Finney's Principles series and find additional study resources, visit FinneysPrinciples.com and AgionPress.com.
These three new Finney's Principles Series book titles are based on the verse from Romans: "For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit"-Romans 14:17.
Charles Grandison Finney was a Presbyterian minister who became an important figure in the Second Great Awakening. His influence during this period was enough that he has been called "The Father of Modern Revivalism".
In addition to becoming a popular Christian evangelist, Finney was involved with the abolitionist movement and frequently denounced slavery from the pulpit.
Finney was known for his innovations in preaching and religious meetings, such as having women pray in public meetings of mixed gender, development of the "anxious seat" (a place where those considering becoming Christians could come to receive prayer), and public censure of individuals by name in sermons and prayers. He was also known for his use of extemporaneous preaching.
No man in his day and generation was more signally blessed of God in winning souls than Charles G. Finney. Thousands and tens of thousands in this and other lands were brought to Christ through his instrumentality. It is hoped that this brief study of his life and labors may stimulate others to renewed effort in seeking to bring men to a saving knowledge of Him who is our Redeemer and Lord.
