The Great Awakening

The Great Awakening

THE GREAT AWAKENING

With the decay of the Puritan clergy, in wake of the Salem Witch Trials, the main
elements of religious zeal fell into decline.  In the backcountry, religion was becoming
primitive.  Preachers were described as " ignorant wretches who could not read or write",
and "a gang of lunatics".  In light of this spiritual decay came engelistic preachers like the
Congregationalists Johnathan Edwards and George Whitefield.  Their preaching through
sermons, such as "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" and "Gales of Heavenly Wind"
brought followers into a different state of mind.  Often people would fall to the ground in
a faint, or cry aloud that they really did feel the power and love of God.  These preachers
of  The Great Awakening made Hell real and vivid, and taught of a vengeful God.
	The Great Awakening began in the middle colonies in the late 1730's and spread
to New England and some areas in the south.  One of the main preachers of this revival
was Johnathan Edwards.  He declared that people would not be saved for eternal life just
by attending services and praying regularly.
