""Crowd Psychology and Revivals"" is a book written by James Bissett Pratt that delves into the phenomenon of mass psychology within the context of religious revivals. The book explores how large groups of people can be influenced and swayed by charismatic leaders and powerful emotions, leading to mass conversions and spiritual awakenings. Pratt draws on his own experiences as a participant and observer of revivals, as well as the insights of psychologists and social scientists, to analyze the dynamics of crowd behavior and the role of religion in shaping it.
