1 avr. 1730 - Great Awakening

Description:

In the first decades of the 18th century, sermons in Protestant churches tended to be long intellectual discourses and portrayed God as a benign creator of a perfectly ordered universe. In the 1730s, however, a dramatic change occurred that swept through the colonies. This was the Great Awakening, a movement characterized by intense expressions of religious feeling among masses of people. The movement was at its strongest during the 1730s and 1740s. The Great Awakening had a significant impact on Christinaity. It reinvigorated religion in America at a time when it was steadily declining and introduced ideas that would penetrate into American culture for many years to come.
