This episode explores the Great Awakening in colonial America, focusing on figures like Jonathan Edwards, George Whitefield, Theodore Frelinghuysen, and Gilbert Tennent. As revival spread across New England, Edwards’ theology, Whitefield’s preaching, and Tennent’s challenges to unconverted ministers reshaped the church. Amid the Half-Way Covenant, Enlightenment influence, and spiritual decline, the Awakening sparked renewal while dividing Old Lights and New Lights. We examine how revival transformed the New World and left a lasting mark on American Christianity. Let us know in the comments!
