revival movement
Religious fervor resurgence
A revival movement is a surge of renewed religious fervor within a faith tradition, typically emphasizing personal conversion, emotional worship, and return to foundational beliefs.
These movements often emerge when adherents feel their religion has grown stale or corrupt: The Great Awakening was a revival movement that swept colonial America.
Revival movements may spawn new denominations or reform existing ones.
