Guiding Question What was the First Great Awakening and how did it affect religious belief in colonial America?

The First Great Awakening Middle of 18th Century emotional religious conversions from a state of sin to a "new birth” No single set of doctrines or organizational structure emphasized personal faith rather than conformity to doctrine Dramatic and powerful preaching, sometimes outdoors, by itinerant preachers in front of crowds of thousands Characterized by the emotional enthusiasm of its participants (e.g. weeping, fainting)

The First Great Awakening Contrast with the more staid and formal worship of traditional Anglican and Congregational services The Great Awakening led several Protestant denominations to support missionaries who aimed to convert Native Americans to Christianity, especially in New England and the mid-Atlantic region. The Awakening also led to the creation of new colleges— including Princeton, Brown, and Rutgers—to train "New Light" ministers. The Baptist and Methodist churches were among its most important products. The Baptist and Methodist churches were among its most important products.

Counter to the Enlightenment As explained by historian Christine Leigh Heyrman, "a new Age of Faith rose to counter the currents of the Age of Enlightenment, to reaffirm the view that being truly religious meant trusting the heart rather than the head, prizing feeling more than thinking, and relying on biblical revelation rather than human reason”

Sinners at the Hands of an Angry God In what context (at what time and in what place) did Edwards deliver this sermon? Who would have represented Edwards' "ideal" audience? What message does Edwards convey in this passage? What reactions do Edwards' carefully crafted images attempt to evoke? Did Edwards employ vocabulary with which are you unfamiliar?

George Whitfield (1714-1770) Background Read Page 6-7 Read Nathan Cole and Answer the questions on Page 6)

Questions for Occom What questions would you ask Occom in order to better understand his personal and professional experiences? What information would enhance your understanding of Occom's religious practices compared to those of other ministers during the Great Awakening? Do you agree with Occom's conclusion that his status as a "poor Indian" detracted from his ability to influence the Indian population as well as his religious superiors? Use evidence from the text to support your argument.
