Definition
A phrase applied to a great revival of emotional religion in America, the movement being at its height about 1740-1745 under the leadership of Jonathan Edwards. It arose as an effort to reform religion and morals. Relgion, under the "Puritan hierarchy" led by Mathers, had become rather formal and cold, and the clergy somehwhat arrogant. The revival meeting began as early as 1720 in New Jersey. 1740-1742 Edwards conducted a long 'revival' at Northampton, Massachusets, preached in other cities and published many sermons, including Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God. The conservatives or Old Lights, representing the stricter Calvinists, led by the faculties of HArvard and Yale, protested against the excesses of the movement |
