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: -Finney preached in the revivalist style, a technique used to evoke great emotion from an audience during a sermon-and a style loathed by more traditionally conservative religious leaders, like Lyman Beecher. Despite his controversial style, Finney found the audiences for his sermons steadily increasing.
