Selwyn continues to explore the meaning of revival. He says: “It is important to point out that the word ‘revival’, when used in connection with spiritual things, is applicable only to Christians and the Church. the very construction of the word ‘revive’ indicates that something which was once alive, but now lacks life and energy, [...]
