I do not seek to understand that I may believe, but I believe in order to understand. For this also I believe, –that unless I believed, I should not understand.-- St. Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109)

The Wesleyan Way: Revival-- Real or Ridiculous?

On this episode of The Wesleyan Way, Allan interviews Rev. Dr. Ben Witherington III on the phenomenon of religious revival and specifically the 2023 awakening taking place at Asbury University in Wilmore, KY.  What is revival? Is it something to take seriously as a movement of the Holy Spirit, or should it be dismissed as emotional hype?

Rev. Dr. Ben Witherington III is Amos Professor of New Testament for Doctoral Studies at Asbury Theological Seminary and on the doctoral faculty at St. Andrews University in Scotland. He is the author of over sixty book and many, many essays and articles. One of his most recent works is Who God Is: Meditations on the Character of Our God.

Oh my goodness. I never dreamed these things were happening right under our noses. How refreshing to hear of the mighty works of God. Sometimes in our own places we become immune to the works of the Holy Spirit and even wonder if the works of the Spirit is even happening in this generation and this time and place. Thank you for this video cast. It gives me hope for the world.
