Talk:Third Great Awakening

message: The title "Third Great Awakening" is really subjective.  There is definite consensus on the first two, but consensus seems to evaporate after that.  I do not mean to imply that there were not further true revivals (e.g., the Azusa Street Revival or the Jesus Movement), but the so-called third and fourth nationwide great awakenings may be more a matter of opinion and conjecture.  I think this article would be improved by a caveat stating that the concept of further Great Awakenings is somewhat controversial.

replies: text: I agree. The title is thrown around often -- even today -- to describe just about any Christian movement following the Second Awakening.  Also, the information in this article is sketchy, e.g. "Nazarene movements" in addition to Holiness movement (hint: They're one in the same). 209.55.81.32 (talk) 06:53, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

text: I too agree. Religion in America by Corrigan, The Religious History of America by Gaustad, The Story of Christianity by Gonzalez all studiously avoid the term. The closest mention of it is in A History of Christianity in the United States and Canada by Noll pp. 287-288 - who terms the 1857-1858 revival the "businessman's awakening." Timothy Paul Jones in his Christian History Made Easy devotes half a page to what he calls "a Third Great Awakening." BBeagle (talk) 00:11, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  THIRD Great Awakening? 

message: Hello, my username is FirsthandPOV-CCS, and I’m an employee of The First Church of Christ, Scientist. I noticed this sentence doesn’t reflect the source cited. The source says 1879 was the year that Eddy founded the Church of Christ, Scientist (the inception of Christian Science took place about 13 years earlier). Is it possible to identify a verb that fits better with the founding or establishing of a church than “invented”? FirsthandPOV-CCS (talk) 22:18, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
