Third Great Awakening

This is another historic period of revivalism that began by 1850s and extended to the 20th century. The ideology was coined by William G. Mchoughein.

The Third Great Awakening was a continuation of the Second Great Awakening as it focused on social religiosity and activitism.

The revival influenced the pietistic Protestantism and relied upon the thought of postmillennial belief of the second coming of Yahoshea that stipulate that the earth will be reformed by mankind before the second advent of Yahoshea Meshiyach.

Outcome Of The Revivals

The revival influenced the activities of social evangelical movements in America. These movements applied numerous social issues to Christianity.

Some of the social issues include pietism, abolition of slavery, prohibition to liquor, growth of education, missionary societies, campaigns against pornography and prostitution and spark of the demand for woman suffrage.

Other areas of focus by the revival were on child labor, protection of women from exploitation in factories and compulsory elementary education. This era saw to the establishment of many colleges by churches with improved curriculums. Equally, the male youths in campus in urban, Young Men Christian Association and many denominational youth groups were formed.

New Denominations

The Third Great Awakening gave birth to many denominations, some of them include the Christian Science by Mary Baker Eddy, The Salvation Army's view on poverty alleviation was influence by the revival. Others include the society for Ethical Culture by Felix Adler that attracted Reform Jewish Clientele, the Bible Students Movement that later became the Jehovah's Witness by Charles Taze Russel, the New Thought Movement that gave birth to the Unity and  the Holiness Movement.

Conclusion

As available in the Second Great Awakening, the revivals of the Third Great Awakening were of social issues and few events that traced to the primitive Yahosheanism.

It is a mere continuation of the Grecian theology of Christianity that was contrary to principles set by Yahoshea. The revival was more of social events or issues than of search for Yahosheanism.
