"The Life of the Rev. George Whitefield, Volume 2 (of 2)" by L. Tyerman is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume continues the narrative of George Whitefield, a prominent figure in the evangelical movement and a key player in the spread of Methodism in Britain and America during the 18th century. The book explores Whitefield's significant influence on religious revivals, particularly in Scotland and the various challenges he faced within the religious communities of his time. At the start of this volume, the narrative delves into Whitefield’s second visit to Scotland in June 1742, where he observes a remarkable religious revival sparked by his previous work. The text highlights testimonies of transformed lives, the establishment of prayer societies, and the emotional responses of congregations during his sermons.

The opening portion creates a vivid picture of a passionate religious atmosphere, with Whitefield proclaiming faith amidst both support and controversy as he strives to unite various Christian denominations.
