My cautious colleagues are dreadfully afraid of anything which they call revivalistic, and, indeed, of anything which is unconventional.
"The Upton Letters"
Arthur Christopher Benson
This first stage, supremely illustrated in the disciples of Christ, and again in the groups who gathered round such men as St. Francis, Fox, or Booth, is re-experienced in a lesser way in every successful revival: and each genuine restoration of the life of Spirit, whether its declared aim be social or religious, has a certain revivalistic character.
"The Life of the Spirit and the Life of To-day"
Evelyn Underhill
The mystery as to how this had been effected was the more elusive when she considered the absence of all methods which might have been deemed revivalistic.
