Famous books
The final Latin version of Calvin’s Institutes was published in 1559. The six chapters of the first edition (1536) had now become 80, assembled in four books. This has been called ‘the most influential theological work of the Protestant Reformation’, but it is nevertheless accessible, interesting and inspiring to the 21st-century general reader.
C.I. Scofield’s dispensational, pre-millennial Bible was published in 1909, and gained a wide circulation.
The 1859 Revival
Throughout the year 1859, the churches in Wales experienced an awakening, especially during the preaching visits of Humphrey Jones and David Morgan. By the end of the year, about 110,000 had been converted and added to the churches.
