Why

  • Many assume George Whitefield's tour was the main cause of the Great Awakening as he did ignite it with his heated lectures, but he was not necessarily the cause.
  • Denominations were already beginning to see changes prior to the Great Awakening, but with the assistance of more passionate leaders the Great Awakening was a time of rapid and complete change.
