38. John Wesley

48

While Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield were devoting their considerable gifts to the movement known as the Great Awakening in America, John Wesley was engaged in a similar ministry of evangelism in England. While he differed from Edwards and Whitefield theologically, he nevertheless shared the powerful and urgent desire that all people, of all social classes, would hear the gospel and experience the new birth. His tireless efforts eventually gave rise to the Methodist denomination which ultimately proved to be a significant and indeed dominate force in American evangelical Christianity.
