Sinopse

George Whitefield was a popular Calvinist circuit preacher of England and frontier America who along with John Wesley, Charles Wesley, and Jonathan Edwards was very influential in the American Great Awakening of the mid-18th century. In a brief life of fifty-seven years, Whitefield shared Jesus and the Gospel with more messages to more people than any other minister of his day. This excellent summary of his life brings the reader to a crossroads between total commitment to Jesus or a compromised life with the things of self and the world.áThis is not a research work, but a defense of WhitefieldâÇÖs ministry, which suffered unduly harsh criticism from the so-called 'old lights,' those Anglican and Congregational clergymen who thought the Great Awakening, and WhitefieldâÇÖs ministry, to be steeped in hyper-emotionalism and experience-based religious effects. In this still relevant book, J. C. Ryle goes to work defending Whitefield in terms of the substance of WhitefieldâÇÖs preaching, which he contends was Scriptural to the core.á
