Professor Instructions: Students will analyze the context and significance of an individual or movement in Evangelical or Pentecostal missionary history. In addition to the class texts, at least five (5) outside academic sources must be consulted and referenced in the notes and bibliography.

My instructions: My professor gave me permission to write on multiple individuals that have influenced Evangelical missionary history–Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield. So I’d like a brief overview of the First Great Awakening, their roles in it, and their significance in Evangelical history.
