About this episode

This episode explores the Great Awakening, a religious movement in the early 18th century that transformed faith in the American colonies.

In the early 18th century, religion in the American colonies was often orderly, formal, and deeply tied to established churches.  Then a new generation of preachers began drawing enormous crowds, delivering emotional sermons, challenging traditional authority, and insisting that faith had to be personally experienced.  The movement crossed colonial boundaries, divided congregations, and helped reshape American society long before independence.
