There is no doubt that the general spiritual awakening of the 1790's and 1800's was the prime factor in the extraordinary burst of missionary enthusiasm and social service which began in Britain, Europe and in North America. In the wake of this spiritual outburst a number of missionary organizations came into being. They sent their emissaries to many parts of the earth. Southern Asia was one of those areas which first felt the impact. In this book Dr. Orr traces the major movements of the Spirit which occurred through the years which followed the first thrust into that great sub-continent. With his customary sensitivity and warmth, combined with his vast knowledge of missionary history, the author touches on all the great stirrings of God which so profoundly affected India and the areas immediately around it. He culminates this volume with a discussion of the evangelization of Southern Asia.

EVANGELICAL AWAKENINGS IN SOUTHERN ASIA is the second of five volumes by Mr. Orr which comprise "A New Awakening Series" presently being released at monthly intervals. Others in the series include, Evangelical Awakenings in Eastern Asia, Evangelical Awakenings in Africa, Evangelical Awakenings in Greater Oceania, and Evangelical Awakenings in Latin America. Together they will make up a very remarkable Source of valuable information concerning the stirrings of the Spirit throughout much of the world.
