Great Awakening
| Religious revival in the American colonies from the late 1730s to the 1760s, sparked off by George Whitefield (1714–1770), an itinerant English Methodist preacher whose evangelical fervour and eloquence made many converts. A second ‘great awakening’ occurred in the first half of the 19th century, establishing the evangelist tradition in US Protestantism. |
