The works of the Reverend George Whitefield, M.A., Vol. 4 (of 6)

The volume gathers sermons, tracts, personal letters, and biographical material from a prominent eighteenth-century preacher, presenting defenses of evangelical practice, pastoral replies to ecclesiastical critics, and guidance for fledgling religious societies. Central themes include earnest personal conversion, the indwelling work of the Holy Spirit as assurance of salvation, warnings against lukewarm nominalism, and a careful definition of enthusiasm. Practical counsel on prayer, Christian duties, and communal discipline appears alongside apologetic exchanges with church authorities and previously unprinted pieces prepared for publication, offering both doctrinal argument and everyday pastoral exhortation.
