The author traces an eighteenth-century evangelical awakening from spiritual despondency to widespread fervor, following early university renewals and the expansion of field preaching that empowered itinerant leaders and lay preachers. He profiles prominent figures such as Whitefield, the Wesleys, Edwards, the Tennents, and Robert Raikes; describes the movement’s musical, educational, and philanthropic expressions including Sunday schools and missionary societies; documents regional outbreaks in urban, industrial, and colonial contexts; and concludes by assessing the revival’s institutional aftermath and the ways its practices reshaped religious life.
