The Great Awakening in New England

Edwin Scott Gaustad

4.9/5 (13016 ratings)

Description:"Perhaps the most profound religious revival in the history of the New World took place in New England three centuries ago. between 1740 and 1742 this tremendous spiritual upheaval had an effect upon the American colonies comparable to those produced by the great Methodist revival in England and the pietistic revolution in Germany somewhat earlier. Dr. Gaustad considers the Great Awakening in New England "one of the most significant cultural phenomena in American colonial history" and has written a significant book that makes clear its theological, intellectual and institutional effects in American life. Now for the first time in a century this epoch is studied in full detail and with an objectivity impossible then. It is seen that, for all its excesses and errors, this period in colonial life exhibited many aspects of the religious problem of this country. Its examination in the light of present-day theology is vital to an understanding of America's religious heritage. Jonathan Edwards, George whitefield, Solomon Stoddard and others were the prime movers of this revival, that fused two disparate strains in New England life: The Enlightenment, which was sober and straitlaced; and Revivalism, which was emotional and intense. Never before has this "watershed" in early American life been so thoroughly researched from the sociological, the theological and the historical point of view." -publisherWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
