Description

A Burning and Shining Light is a comprehensive, up to date-day biography of George Whitefield, the Great Awakening Evangelist. Chronological in nature, its emphasis is on his shuttle, preaching, and influence on two continents. Nelson’s intent is to expand the reader’s understanding of Whitefield’s ministry to its influence today, by bringing the reader into Whitefield’s era. The reader will observe the events of his life, participating in Whitefield’s passion for ministry, in addition to his joys and sorrows. An evaluation of Whitefield’s influence is given in the last two chapters. The book is laden with references from other biographies and books about Whitefield. The biography regards the time in which he lived, comparing it to today’s time, by evaluating his inward motivations and influences that made him probably the most greatest preachers in the History of Christianity.

Readers who are interested in early history of the American colonies and the history of probably the most greatest dramatic preachers of all time will appreciate this look into what made evangelism what it’s today. It is appeal to pastors, students, and leaders who need a magnificent model of perseverance and overcoming obstacles.

Students of evangelism will be intrigued by the origin of effective mass evangelism methods. Theologians and believers interested in the struggle between Calvinism and Arminianism will take advantage of the history of this doctrinal controversy with Wesley.

The passive observer who knows nothing about Whitefield can also be enlightened to an almost fantastic legacy of Whitefield’s affect on people in a day with such a lot of limitations on shuttle, communication, and expansion. The affect is a legacy of one who rose out from small beginnings to leave a tremendous example for others to follow.
