Description:In this landmark book, first published in 1971, Iain Murray, traces the “Puritan Hope” of a glorious and worldwide revival before the second coming of Christ, from the Reformation onwards. He shows how this hope, or strong conviction of coming revival, was embraced firstly by the giants of Puritanism, then by men like David Brainerd, Jonathan Edwards, and George Whitefield. This optimistic view of soon-coming blessing was the driving force behind William Carey, and others who followed him, during the beginnings of the modern missionary movements. With scholarly exegesis of Scripture and much historical and biographical material Murray clearly explains and illustrates the Puritan Hope. Finally, he traces the eclipse of this Scriptural emphasis and the corresponding decline in missionary activity. This is an excellent book which deserves to be read by all evangelical Christians who are seeking a Biblical basis and historical forerunners of the great end-time Revival.

"The word hope I take for faith; and indeed hope is nothing else but the constancy of faith."
JOHN CALVIN, Commentaries on Hebrews chapter 3, verse 6

"But our chief consolation is that this is the cause of God and that he will take it in hand to bring it to a happy issue. Even though all the princes of the earth were to unite for the maintenance of our Gospel, still we must not make that the foundation of our hope. So, likewise, whatever resistance we see today offered by almost all the world to the progress of the truth, we must not doubt that our Lord will come at last to break through all the undertakings of men and make a passage for his word. Let us hope boldly, then, more than we can understand; he will still surpass our opinion and our hope."
J OHN CALVIN, Quoted by J. H. Merle D’Aubigne, History of the Reformation in Europe in the time of Calvin, 1876, vol 7, 49

"There will come a time when in this world holiness shall be more general, and more eminent, than ever it hath been since Adam fell in paradise."
THOMAS BROOKS, The Crown and Glory of Christianity, 1662 [Complete Works, vol 4, 434]

"I had a strong hope, that God would ‘bow the heavens and come down’ and do some marvellous work among the Heathen."
DAVID BRAINERD, Life and Diary for 22 July 1744, Works of Jonathan Edwards, vol 2, 1840, 349
