Religious revivalism refers to a movement aimed at reawakening or intensifying religious faith and practice within a community or society. This often involves passionate preaching, increased worship activities, and a focus on personal conversion experiences. Revivalist movements can emerge in response to perceived moral decline or spiritual apathy, seeking to reinvigorate believers and attract new followers. Historically, religious revivalism has played a significant role in various faith traditions, including Christianity with events like the First Great Awakening in the 18th century. These revivals can lead to the formation of new denominations, increased church attendance, and a renewed emphasis on religious values in everyday life.
