George Whitefield, also known as George Whitfield, was an English Anglican priest who helped spread the Great Awakening in Britain and, especially, in the British North American colonies. He was one of the founders of Methodism and of the evangelical movement generally. He became perhaps the best-known preacher in Britain and America in the 18th century, and because he travelled through all of the American colonies and drew great crowds and media coverage, he was one of the most widely recognized public figures in colonial America.
I first learned of George Whitfield when I read a biography of Ben Franklin. George Whitfield was a dynamic evangelist in the late 1700s. He preached out of doors in England and America. This lengthy book is the transcription of 63 of his sermons. I was reminded that although times change, the gospel does not.
