Reformation or Revival: What Does the Church Need?

Ronald Hanko argues that the modern church's emphasis on revival as extraordinary conversion and spiritual manifestations misses what Scripture actually calls for: a reformation back to ordinary biblical practices including faithful preaching, proper church government, biblical worship, and discipleship of existing members. The pamphlet defends the Covenant Protestant Reformed Church's preference for reformation over revival, drawing on the model of the sixteenth-century Protestant Reformation as a return to scriptural doctrine and practice.
