George Whitefield: Pioneering Evangelist(Book)
George Whitefield (December 27, 1714 – September 30, 1770), 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 traveled 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.
