"The Great Awakening of the 1740's was both a significant progression of events in the development of American Protestant churches and a crisis in the history of the American mind. From the sermons, letters, pamphlets, poems and satires collected here - for the most part unavailable since their appearance more than 200 years ago - the reader is exposed to a remarkable view of the development of religious revival and of the contours and confrontation of ideas in the Awakening." - dj.
