THE GREAT AWAKENING How Religion Made Democracy a Little More Accessable Standard 8.1.1

What was the Great Awakening? The Great Awakening of the 1740’s refers to an excitement about religion that swept through the American colonies.

Who Was Involved The Great Awakening was led by Jonathan Edwards, a minister who preached against the sins of man.

What Was It All About The Great Awakening emphasized the importance of having sincere religious feelings.

What Was The Effect? It had important political consequences in encouraging democratic ideals and thoughts of independence.

Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God! The wrath of kings is very much dreaded, especially of absolute monarchs, who have the possessions and lives of their subjects wholly in their power, to be disposed of at their mere will. "The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: Whoso provoketh him to anger, sinneth against his own soul." The subject that very much enrages an arbitrary prince, is liable to suffer the most extreme torments that human art can invent, or human power can inflict. But the greatest earthly potentates in their greatest majesty and strength, and when clothed in their greatest terrors, are but feeble, despicable worms of the dust, in comparison of the great and almighty Creator and King of heaven and earth. It is but little that they can do, when most enraged, and when they have exerted the utmost of their fury. All the kings of the earth, before God, are as grasshoppers; they are nothing, and less than nothing…The wrath of the great King of kings, is as much more terrible than theirs, as his majesty is greater. "And I say unto you, my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that, have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom you shall fear: fear him, which after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell..."

The Question Do good people have to obey a King if he is evil or ungodly? If no, then who is in charge?

Let’s Read Take a look at page 139 of Creating America Read it

In Modern Times Religious people in America are exerting their power Some believe that abortion and other practices tolerated by government are ungodly Some call Obama the Anti-Christ Some call America a “Christian Nation” Some call for the overthrow of the Government Is part of the American idea of challenging authority rooted in The Great Awakening? Think about it.
