Title: An unfortunate, idealistic oversimplification of revival
Product review: Joyner writes with an air of authority but failes to properly analyze the Welsh revival of 1904/5. In his many statements and assertions, he also fails to site references and give credit to other authors. This is unfortunate since most of the primary sources on the welsh revival are out of print and difficult to locate. His conclusions are simplistic and fail to take into account the many things that went wrong during and after the Welsh revial. Joyner excells at showing his idealism in his attempt to advance revival and in so doing paves the way for the same mistakes history records to be repeated. If you are looking for a title to read on the Welsh revival, Eifion Evans' book, "The Welsh Revival of 1904" published by the Evangelical Press of Wales is a must.
