About This Book

The biography chronicles the later ministry and travels of George Whitefield, detailing revival campaigns across Scotland, England, Wales, Ireland and multiple American voyages. It records large open-air sermons, organizational projects such as an orphan house and new tabernacles, and alliances with figures like Lady Huntingdon and segments of the Calvinistic Methodists and Moravians. It also covers sharp controversies—pamphlet exchanges, ecclesiastical opposition, legal troubles, splits with other Methodists—and practical matters of fundraising, health struggles, and itinerant preaching. The narrative addresses contentious issues raised contemporaneously, including his support networks and allegations concerning slave ownership.
