- Summary:
- Evangelicals and scholars of religious history have long recognized George Whitefield (1714-1770) as a founding father of American evangelicalism. But Jessica M. Parr argues he was much more than that. She draws from Whitefield's writing and sermons and from newspapers, pamphlets, and other sources to understand his career and times, and offers new insights into revivalism, print culture, and transatlantic cultural influences.
