Great read from a consistently first-rate historian. Fascinating recounting of the Great Awakening, especially in the details surrounding the lives of its four leading figures (Edwards, Whitefield, and John and Charles Wesley), the movements they founded, and the ways their ministries shaped Christianity up to the present day.
