"George Whitefield: A Biography, with special reference to his labors in America" by Joseph Belcher, D.D. is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book chronicles the life and ministry of George Whitefield, a prominent evangelical preacher known for his impactful work in America and England during the 18th century. Focused particularly on his role in the religious revival in America, it aims to shed light on his influence and the state of moral decay in Britain during his early life. The opening of the biography sets the stage for understanding the social and religious climate in England in the early 18th century. It describes a period characterized by a decline in genuine faith, with many religious leaders adhering to formality rather than the transformative power of the gospel. Whitefield’s early life, including his birth in Gloucester and formative experiences at Oxford, is outlined, emphasizing his initial struggles with faith and personal conduct. Furthermore, it details his eventual ordination and first sermon, foreshadowing his significant role as a preacher who would rise to prominence amidst the contentious atmosphere of his time. The text paints a picture of a young man destined for greatness in evangelism and highlights his commitment to disseminating Christian teachings in a time when such doctrines were often undermined.
