The First Great Awakening, an unprecedented surge in Protestant
Christian revivalism in the Eighteenth Century, sparked enormous of
controversy at the time and has been a source of scholarly debate
ever since. Few historians have sought to write a synthetic history
of the First Great Awakening, and in recent decades it has been
challenged as having happened at all, being either an exaggeration
or an "invention." The First Great Awakening expands the movement's
geographical, theological, and sociopolitical scope. Rather than
focus exclusively on the clerical elites, as earlier studies have
done, it deals with them alongside ordinary people, and includes
the experiences of women, African Americans, and Indians as the
observers and participants they were. It challenges prevailing
scholarly opinion concerning what the revivals were and what they
meant to the formation of American religious identity and culture.
