Many Christian renewal and revival movements from the first century to the present have had an enduring impact upon the Christian church, as well as on the cultures in which they were situated. Such movements have often sought to reclaim neglected biblical teachings, correct distorted theology, eliminate institutional abuses, revitalize religious traditions, introduce new spiritual practices, or emphasize particular aspects of the church’s life, ministry and worship. The papers included here have been put into an online encyclopedia format at the Christian Movements Project site. Each year, honors students will add to the project to create an online resource on the people and movements that have shaped Christianity.
