Revival Bible

The time has finally come!

The inescapable reality behind the concept of religious revival, said author and youth evangelist William “Winkie” Pratney is that when the love of God and needy men intersect, all heaven breaks loose. That subject is the focus of Armour Publishing’s massive new Revival Study Bible.

If a single word is needed to grasp the comprehensive nature of the hefty 1,973-page Revival Study Bible, it is “exhaustive.” Once immersed in its pages, revival not only seems, as Pratney said, “cyclical and repetitive” in history, it seems to be inevitable – if not somewhat elusive.

“Encouragement comes as people read the repetitive nature of revivals throughout the history of the church,” Pratney said. “God continues to move throughout time and in different areas of the world in a wide variety of circumstances. This Study Bible shows that he uses not always the biggest, best and most beautiful in a revival but the little, least and sometime the “losers” among us.”

Lest those from any theological persuasion misunderstand, however, Pratney cautions upfront and without hesitation that the subject of revival – or even experiencing a revival as result- is not the point of the Revival Study Bible.

“Revival is not the end or the focus of this ten-year-long work by hundreds of contributors, editors and behind-the-scenes workers,” Pratney said. “The end is the return and restoration of a new relationship with God. Seek revival and you won’t have a real answer. You seek God, and you may have a revival.”

Readers will certainly learn rare, formerly obscured, historical facets and character of revivals that may shed light or provide guidance for today. Hours could easily be spent studying and reflecting on the additional collective input of nearly a hundred contributors alone – contemporary or historical revival figures – who wrote articles, notes or are profiled in breakout boxes in the pages of the Study Bible.
