George Whitefield’s life has been described as a consuming fire that burned without end. In the wake of his preaching, revival swept across the British Isles, and the Great Awakening transformed America’s colonies.
This founder of Methodism yielded his leadership to John Wesley rather than risking the split of the movement, thus revealing his fervent commitment to the Gospel of Christ rather than his personal hopes or plans.

The Great Awakening (Joseph Tracy)
$28.75Although a considerable number of scattered records accompanied what Jonathan Edwards called the ‘Revival of Religion in New England in 1740’ it was not until 1841 that Joseph Tracy thoroughly sifted these original sources and became its first historian. He aimed to provide ‘a work which should furnish the means of suitably appreciating both the good and the evil of that period of religious history.’ ‘His design,’ as C. H. Maxson has written, ‘was admirably executed.’
The Great Awakening is a challenging story to tell, because opinions of its nature and value differed widely, both at the time and since then. “The doctrine of the new birth made its way like lightning into the hearers’ consciences”, wrote George Whitefield, but other critics asserted that multitudes of people were genuinely “out of their wits” at the time. The Great Awakening does not fit easily into any of the usual norms.
