When editors have been changing Finneys words in their republications of his works over the last one hundred and thirty years, it is essential in understanding the man and his success that republications without changes be given once again to the public. This new edition does that. While the text is from the final 1868 revised edition, numerous footnotes are added that show the changes Finney made from the original 1834 and 1835 editions of these lectures. Many of the changes made in more recent republications are also noticed.

My design was at first, not to publish, but barely to print a small number of copies exclusively for the use of the students. But as it was supposed that others would desire to possess them, I have consented to their publication, reminding my readers that they are a bare skeleton of the course of Theological study here pursued. The skeletons of these...

The backslidden condition is a lot more common than people like to believe - especially about one self.
You may fool yourself into believing that you are in good shape with the Lord. But let me tell you, if you have a sin or sins you have not overcome yet then that is a very real sign that you are not in a pure state before God (i.e. backslidden or lukewarm).
Take the diagnoses that Charles Finney gives and carefully and soberly consider whether you have any backslidden tendency in your heart or actions. Because of the deceitfulness of sin you may not be very good at your own...
