Better than Revival

In “Better Than Revival,” Ken Chant critically examines prevalent evangelical and charismatic views on “revival.” Chant posits that these conventional perspectives don’t align with the New Testament model. Advocating a third approach, he emphasizes its alignment with New Testament principles. The interpretation of “revival” significantly impacts various aspects of church life, from prayer strategies to ministry objectives. One’s revival perspective can influence their approach to prayer, expectations from God, ministry goals, self-perception, church’s role, world view, and church governance. The chosen viewpoint can either see the church as powerless, awaiting revival, or as a proactive entity fulfilling its evangelistic mandate.
