Detailed explanation-1: -Finney departed strongly from traditional Calvinist theology by teaching that people have a completely free will to choose salvation. He taught that preachers had vital roles in producing revival, and wrote in 1835, “A revival is not a miracle, or dependent on a miracle, in any sense.
Detailed explanation-2: -Finney is probably best known for his contribution to the religious movement known as the Second Great Awakening during the 1830s. At the heart of this movement was a series of revivals. Finney was an evangelist who spoke at these revivals, using emotional sermons to urge his audiences to devote their lives to God.
Detailed explanation-3: -Thus the world is divided into two great political parties; the difference between them is, that one party choose Satan as the god of this world, yield obedience to his laws, and are devoted to his interest. Selfishness is the law of Satan’s empire, and all impenitent sinners yield it a willing obedience.
Detailed explanation-4: -More than any other historical figure, he made revivals a standard feature of the American religious landscape. Intent upon saving individual souls, Finney also sought to expand the role of women, to strengthen the churches and to bring about social reform.
