The Very Very Very Big
     Awakening
        AKA The Great Awakening
What is this “Big Awakening” thing you
       keep babbling about?!?
• A Great Awakening = Period of rapid religious
  revival
• Four Great Awakenings
• THE Great Awakening = first (c. 1730 – 1755)
• Primarily in England and New England
Wha? Who awakened what?
• Jonathan Edwards
   – Yale minister who believed New Englanders were far too
     concerned with worldly matters
• George Whitefield
   – Britain minister, preached passionately
• Gilbert Tennent
• Style
   – Itinerant and censorious preaching
   – Considerable controversy
   – Copied by many
• New style of enthusiastic preaching inspired many
But then who woke THOSE people up?
• Harsh life
• Germany and Northern Ireland
  – Wracked with warfare and famine
  – Hundreds of thousands migrate to Americas
• America
  – Taking in the poor Germans
  – Conflict along borders left families desolated
• Great Britain
  – Success of the government at the cost of faith
  – Entering the Industrial Revolution, many miners and
    factory workers converted
So, what did this “Awakening” thing do?
• Trend – sermons that emphasized equality
  among religions and among classes
• Outlined law in Enlightenment perspective
  – Authority subject to law as well
  – Revolt against tyranny was legal and religious duty
Ah… I bet this was what caused the
        American Revolution!
• No (not direct cause of it)
• Yes (united colonies, ministers viewed as
  upper class, therefore them preaching
  towards common broke down “respect for
  betters”)
Where’s your sources?
