A Wonderful Work Of God: Puritanism and the Great Awakening

Studies in the Eighteenth Century and the Atlantic World

by Robert W. Brockway, Stan A. Lindsay

This work surveys the Evangelical Revival which swept the American colonies during the first half of the 18th century. Drawing on both original sources and a review of the literature, the book places the Great Awakening in the context of the era's Puritanism and discusses its roots in German Pietism and the Methodist revivals of England. Brockway founded the Religion Department at Brandon University, Canada. The book is distributed by Associated University Presses. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
