Description
Summary:Research in the roots of evangelicalism and revivalism uncovers its share of peculiarities, but nothing is more unusual that what follows. What we have here is a compelling story touching on the exercise of free religion, the religious wars in Europe, the roots of Evangelicalism, the supernatural, and more, all wrapped up in a religious revival which began not through a charismatic revivalist or any adult at all, but rather found it's origin with children aged four to fourteen. The children became pawns in a controversy between political and religious opponents. This is the story about the King of Sweden and the 1707-08 Children's Revival in Silesia. - Publisher Info.
