	Charles Grandison Finney - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Charles Grandison Finney (1792–1875), often called "America's foremost revivalist," was a major leader of the Second Great Awakening in America that had a profound impact on the history of the United States.
		Finney was known for his innovations in preaching and conducting religious meetings, such as allowing women to pray in public and the development of the "anxious bench," a place where those considering becoming Christians could come to receive prayer.
		Finney was a primary influence on the "revival" style of theology which emerged in the 19th century.

		Josiah Finney, the grandfather of Charles, was, (as the genealogical tables pretty surely indicate) the grandson of John Finney, second, who was born in Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1638, and whose father (John), together with his mother and brother Robert, was among the early settlers of Plymouth.
		Finney's conversion belongs to the same class as that of the apostle Paul, in which the inward change of character is necessarily connected with a complete transformation of the outward conduct.
		Finney preached for an hour and a half upon the blessedness of the righteous, and upon the fearfulness of the award in store for the wicked; but he called for no expression of feeling, and dismissed the congregation with the announcement that he would preach again on the next evening.

		Charles Grandison Finney's life began in 1792 in the town of Warren, Connecticut.
		When he was two years old, Finney's parents, like many New Englanders of their day, heeded the call of the frontier and moved to Oneida County in the wilderness of western New York.
		The new measured used by Finney and his followers caused enough alarm among their more orthodox colleagues to be the subject of a convention held at New Lebanon, NY in July, 1827.

	Critical Issues Commentary: Charles Finney’s Influence on American Evangelicalism
		Finney’s Calvinistic background, that apparently had little influence on his theology, held that Adam sinned on behalf of the human race, that original sin included a "sin nature,” and that all are "by nature children of wrath” (Ephesians 2:3).
		Finney’s biographers indicate that Finney came to this teaching out of his disappointment that converts of his revivals had not made the progress he expected and that the church had not prevailed in the world as he hoped.
		Finney had a slightly different emphasis in that he desired to create revivals of religion, a millennial age before the return of Christ, and a Christianized society, (rather than health and wealth); but his approach was similar.

		In his published memoirs, Finney said he came to a point of decision—the question of his soul's salvation had to be settled before he could continue his studies.
		Finney fearlessly addressed his listeners with passionate revivalism, never side-stepping the awfulness of hell and unbelief.
		Finney believed that true repentance and faith in Christ—a turning away from sin and to God—were the keys to spiritual conversion.

	Charles Finney - Theopedia
		Charles G. Finney (1792-1875) often viewed as the father of modern revivalism, ministered in the wake of the "Second Awakening," as it has been called.
		"Finney’s one question for any given teaching was, "Is it fit to convert sinners with?" One result of Finney’s revivalism was the division of Presbyterians in Philadelphia and New York into Arminian and Calvinistic factions.
		"In Finney’s theology, God is not sovereign, man is not a sinner by nature, the atonement is not a true payment for sin, justification by imputation is insulting to reason and morality, the new birth is simply the effect of successful techniques, and revival is a natural result of clever campaigns." [3]

		Charles Finney was born the year after Wesley died; appropriately, because the revival events of Finney's life became the link from the First Great Awakening of one century to the Second Great Awakening of the next.
		Extravagant and emotional in his preaching, perhaps no other revivalist of his day was as effective and controversial as Finney.
		Everywhere he went tumult followed him - it was either revival or riot - reminiscent of the power that followed the first century apostles in the Book of Acts.
