  4. What was the Great Awakening? • Religious revival movement. • Evangelicalism-- “new birth” is the ultimate religious experience. • Followers accept that they are sinners and ask for salvation.

  5. Before the Great Awakening • Before 1730s, most colonies had established religions: • Congregationalists in New England (basically Puritans) • Anglicans in New York and Southern Colonies (same as Church of England)

  6. “Old Lights” vs. “New Lights” • Churches that grew as a result of the Great Awakening: Presbyterianism, Methodism, Baptism (“New Lights”) • Great Awakening challenged authority and hierarchy of established churches (“Old Lights:” Congregationalists and Anglicans). • Great Awakening said anyone could be converted or “born again”; you didn’t need traditional church leadership to decide whether or not you belong.

  7. Leaders of the Great Awakening George Whitefield Jonathan Edwards

  8. Daily S.S. Give 3 examples of a primary source.

  9. Today’s Question: Why was George Whitefield so popular?

  10. Sourcing • Before reading a document ask yourself: • Who wrote this? • What is the author’s point of view? • Why was it written? • When was it written? • Is this source believable? Why or why not?

  11. Contextualizing: Imagining the Setting • What else was going on at the time this was written? • What was it like to be alive at this time? • What things were different back then? What things were the same? • What would it look like to see this even through the eyes of someone who lived back then?
