About this chapter

‘Revival Dawn and the Baptism in the Spirit, ’ chapter 12 of Jessie Penn Lewis’ book ‘War on the Saints’ was written in collaboration with Evan Roberts.

The name of Jessie Penn-Lewis often occurs in works related to the Welsh revival of 1904, not surprisingly, as she was a major chronicler of the movement. She wrote an article each week in the "The Life of Faith," tracing the course of the spiritual movement first throughout Wales, and then through many lands and by many individuals. She contributed to a number of periodicals and produced her own history of the revival called 'The Awakening in Wales - and Some of its Hidden Springs.' She is also well known for her extreme caution regarding what she perceived to be possible demonic intrusions in the developing Pentecostal work of her day, and her involvement with Evan Roberts.
