In thirty-five years of Gospel ministry in the British Isles, West Indies, and America, Whitefield preached eighteen thousand sermons to audiences which sometimes numbered thirty thousand people. — 'His sermons are both doctrinal and practical. In reading them one is sania i id wat os ; ness of Christ, and the grace of God. To him man is a sinner in need of Christ's imputed righteousness, which he can receive only through God's grace. He firmly held that "salvation is of the Lord."
Born in his father's tavern in Gloucester in December 1714, Whitefield entered Oxford University at the age of eighteen and three years later was converted and soon thereafter began his public ministry of preaching. He died in Newburyport on September 30, 1770.
Foreword
