George Whitefield (eBook, ePUB)

The First Transatlantic Revivalist

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

George Whitefield proclaimed the Christian message to more people in history than anyone else. A preacher of revival almost from childhood, when he prophesied his own destiny, he had a profound impact on the social, religious, and political life of Britain and America. He crossed the Atlantic thirteen times and emerged as a celebrated figure whose message captivated rich and poor alike. Whitefield heralded a new kind of revival that was spiritually powerful and entertaining. He was also a man of contradictions. He loved the Anglican liturgy but would happily break canon law. He was a devoted Puritan, yet was also able to befriend those with more liberal morals. Above all, Whitefield was a driven man, and his overwhelming passion was to preach new birth in Christ. He valued education, opposed slavery, cared for orphans, and changed the course of history.
