The Great Revival of the Eighteenth Century With a supplemental chapter on the revival in America

"The Great Revival of the Eighteenth Century" by Edwin Paxton Hood, is a late 1800s historical record shining a light on a powerful religious shift that washed over England in the 1700s, mainly through the work of important people like John Wesley and George Whitefield. The book looks at three big times of evangelical action in England, stressing how they greatly changed society and its culture, while also following the revival's growth into America. It starts by showing England at a low point, full of spiritual darkness and bad behavior, highlighting a big difference between earlier religious times like the Reformation and Puritanism, and this calmer yet important movement of the 1700s, which brought a necessary spiritual and moral makeover. The book argues people turned back to religious excitement and loyalty, which eventually changed English Christianity.
