Selected Sermons of George Whitefield

Homiletics by 
George Whitefield

This book is a compilation of sermons by probably the most famous religious figure of the eighteenth century who had influenced America’s founding fathers. George Whitefield was capable of commanding thousands of people in America and Europe through his powerful oratory. Newspapers called him “marvel of the age,” and his audience called him the “Grand Itinerant.”
As a schoolboy, Whitefield took an interest in theater and often practiced for performances. This theatrical background helped him portrayed the biblical characters with life that enthralled his audience during his sermons. That’s why wherever he preached, people crowded and hung on every word he said. His methods were unconventional, that many churches in London didn’t welcome him to preach in their pulpits. Instead, he tried extemporaneous preaching outdoors, which drove tens of thousands of people to the point that a church cannot hold its volume.
