About this book

A Continuation of the Reverend Mr. Whitefield's Journal is one of several published journals by George Whitefield (1714-1770), the English Anglican preacher who was one of the central figures of the eighteenth century evangelical revival in both Britain and the American colonies known as the Great Awakening.

Whitefield was the most famous preacher of his generation, with extensive preaching tours through Britain, Ireland, the American colonies, Scotland, the West Indies, and various other locations across his long career. He preached an estimated 18,000 sermons across his life, often to enormous outdoor crowds when conventional church buildings could not hold his audiences. His preaching style combined dramatic delivery with considerable theological content drawn from the Calvinist Anglican tradition.

The journals record his various preaching tours with wide detail about the locations, the audiences, the controversies his preaching produced, and the spiritual revivals that often followed his visits. The published journals were widely read in eighteenth century Britain and America and contributed long to the broader public awareness of the Great Awakening revival movement.

About the author

George Whitefield

George Whitefield preached to crowds no building could hold, crossed the Atlantic thirteen times, and did more than anyone to make the revival of the 1730s and 1740s a transatlantic event; Benjamin Franklin, who printed him and did not share his religion, measured how far the voice carried.
