The Great Awakening Chapter 5, Section 4

A Revival of Faith Hold revivals: public church gatherings where masses of people came to hear a ministers sermons Usually held in open fields

A Revival of Faith The “Great Awakening” was an unorganized, but widespread movement of evangelical Christian sermons and church meetings Changed political and social life in the colonies

Leaders of the Great Awakening Jonathan Edwards Born in Connecticut attended Yale Was president of college for several years Pastor of Congreagtional Church in Massachusetts Said sinners must ask forgiveness of their sins or face eternal punishment

Leaders of the Great Awakening George Whitefield Came to America and began series of revivals in Georgia and Virginia Made several tours of the colonies Drew crowds of thousands

Words of the Great Awakening Salvation could only be gained through acceptance of God’s grace and forgiveness of sins Often took a threatening tone Preached all people were born sinners Everyone has equal chance to be saved

“Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”

“Old Lights” New England traditionalists Did not believe enthusiasm of Great Awakening could awaken spirituality “an imaginary, not a real inspiration” Felt sermons were inappropriate way to gain salvation Charles Chauncy of Boston’s first church

“New Lights” Followers of the Great Awakening Gilbert Tennent: leader of the movement Attacked the Old Lights in his writing The Danger of an Unconverted Ministry Inspired growth in church membership

Faith on the Frontier Great Awakening swept west to the frontier Itinerant preacher: traveled the country to deliver sermons Established first churches on the frontier Some frontier missionaries oppose the Great Awakening

Effects on Society Attracted people of different classes and races Women seek spiritual renewal at time of childbirth African Americans find message of acceptance and equality appealing Ministers from different colonies communicate Large outdoor meetings can be places to discuss political issues Question religion = question politics
