There are two questions. One page per question, don’t do that one question do half page and the another’s do one page and half. You can use one source for each question or not.

1. Trace the history of revivalism in the United States. Be sure to describe its origins and its role on the frontier and the inner cities, as well as some of its major leaders. Using examples from Elmer Gantry, describe some of the main characteristics of revivalism, both in theology and practice. What were the attitudes toward revivalism among mainstream Christian groups? What forms does revivalism take today?

2. What might the landscape of American Protestantism look like in fifteen years? Be sure to support your portrait by referencing several of the current trends that you think are the most important and influential.
