A revival movement. A phenomenon or movement that rekindles religious spirit and faith, mainly in Christianity. When church life and faith have become formalized or dogmatic and degenerate into mere customs and ceremonies, or when believers have abandoned faith and become secularized and live unrelated to religion, it refers to evangelism, especially in the form of mass evangelism, that denounces unbelief and sin, urges repentance, and returns people to religion and faith. A typical example of this is the so-called "Great Awakening" that occurred in New England in the early 18th century, which began with the preaching of J. Edwards and G. Whitefield, and revived Puritanism, which was being lost in the secularized colonies, and re-established religion. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
信仰復興運動。主としてキリスト教において宗教心や信仰が再び燃え上がる現象,運動の意。教会生活と信仰が形式化したり教条化して単なる慣習や行事に堕してしまったときや,信徒たちが信仰から離れ世俗化して宗教と無関係に生きているようなときに,その不信仰と罪を糾弾し,悔改めを迫り,宗教と信仰に再び立ちかえらせる伝道,特に大衆伝道の形態をとったものを指す。その典型が18世紀前半,アメリカのニューイングランドでおこったいわゆる〈大覚醒〉で,J.エドワーズやG.ホイットフィールドらの説教を中心として始まり,世俗化した植民地に失われつつあったピューリタニズムを復興させ再宗教化した。
