After posting the previous
article on George Whitefield's sermon on Jeremiah 23:6, I thought it might be prudent to post some information on Whitefield so we might all get to know him a bit better. I found this brief biography on him on a site I frequent,
www.monergism.com.
"George Whitefield, used greatly of God in the first great awakening (1730s - 1740s), was a minister in the Church of England and one of the leaders of the Methodist movement. He was born on December 16, 1714 at the Bell Inn, Gloucester, and died in Newburyport, Massachusetts on September 30, 1770. In contemporary accounts, he, not John Wesley, is spoken of as the supreme figure and even as the founder of Methodism. He parted company with Wesley over the doctrine of predestination. He was famous for his preaching in America which was a significant part of the Great Awakening movement of Christian revival."
