George Whitefield war ein englischer anglikanischer Priester, der maßgeblich zur Verbreitung des Großen Erwachens in Großbritannien und insbesondere in den britischen nordamerikanischen Kolonien beitrug. Als Mitbegründer des Methodismus und der evangelikalen Bewegung im Allgemeinen wurde er zu einem der bekanntesten Prediger des 18. Jahrhunderts in Großbritannien und Amerika. Seine ausgedehnten Reisen und die Anziehungskraft seiner Predigten auf große Menschenmengen machten ihn zu einer der am weitesten anerkannten öffentlichen Figuren im kolonialen Amerika.
This edited and annotated, 2-volume set of George Whitefield's sermons gives valuable historical and theological insight into his powerful and passionate preaching that lit the world on fire in the 18th century.
