F URTHER R EADING A Biography of George Whitefield




A CADEMIC I NFORMATION

A C A D E M I C A D M I N I S T R A T I O N



H ISTORY OF TH E SEMINARY

Whitefield Theological Seminary derives its name from the eighteenth century revivalist, George Whitefield. Rev. Whitefield was a man of compassion, dedicated to the preaching of the Gospel.Reformed in his theology, he was one of the major influences of the eighteenth century, both inthe British Isles and in the Great Awakening in colonial America. He traveled throughoutEngland, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, and America to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Severalorphanages started under his oversight, and his special ministry for children was evidenced ashe saved his income to bring Christian schoolteachers to the southern colonies. His great desireto establish a theological seminary in the South was never realized in his lifetime. Fulfilling Whitefield’s vision, this Seminary is dedicated to training men for the ministry; men of

compassion who desire to proclaim our crucified and risen Lord and King. We desire to trainministers with a vision for reformation, i.e., making the nations Christ’s disciples (Matthew 28:19). Whitefield Theological Seminary (WTS) was developed during a six-year period of research in the field of higher education. Various academic and practical programs wereevaluated, resulting in the founding of Whitefield Theological Seminary in 1980. Whitefield began as a Graduate School of Theology, with both traditional and modular perspectives inlearning. Soon, video, DVD and audio programming technologies were implemented, making itpossible to develop advanced educational degree programs in a variety of new fields andallowing a better educational delivery method for distance learning. The Seminary addedGraduate Schools of Education, Counseling and Church and State, and is currently developingnew graduate schools in areas of missions, and philosophy.

F UNDING A ND E NTANGLEMENT

WTS is totally supported by tuition and gifts from churches and friends of the Seminary. We donot accept government benefits or programs of assistance in the area of student education oroperations. WTS exists and functions under the protection of the First Amendment of theConstitution of the United States of America. All degree programs are designed for use inconjunction with church related ministries. As a church sponsored institution, WTS strives tomaintain its independent educational status, free from both governmental interference andentanglement while accountable to its ecclesiastical authority.

V ISION OF THE SEMINARY

Whitefield Theological Seminary purposes to develop a deep and thorough understanding of Christianity by promoting theological and educational programs in the traditions of theReformed faith. We emphasize both the academic and practical skills that are necessary for theChristian ministry. Our curriculum is designed to challenge students to develop a strongdoctrinal and practical Christian ministry and nurture them in the grace and knowledge of ourLord Jesus Christ. It is also designed to acquaint them with the functions and ministry of thelocal church in our modern society. WTS stands true to the Reformed heritage of the Gospel:“We preach Christ and Him crucified.” (1 Corinthians 2:2)

INTRODUCTION History of the Seminary / Funding and Government

Vision of the Seminary / Statement of Faith






A DMINISTRATION

God’s calling for his life that he might labor to advance the Kingdom of God on earth for Hishonor and glory.

E DUCATIONAL O BJECTIVES

Whitefield Theological Seminary’s educational objectives are to give the student a foundationaland an in-depth understanding of God’s Word (its meaning and principles), so that he will betterunderstand God’s world and be able to carry out the cultural mandate as set forth in the book of Genesis. The student will develop an increasing dedication to Jesus Christ and to the building of the kingdom of God, and will develop a standard of ethics that is consistent with the Holy Scriptures. In doing this, we believe we can better prepare the student for successful ministry inhis (her) chosen field of endeavor.

D IRECTED STUDY P ROGRAM

The Directed Study Program of Whitefield Theological Seminary is designed to integratetheological education with the practical skills necessary for successful ministry, whetherpastoring, teaching, counseling, or other related field of endeavor. The Directed Study Programis not conducted by the old correspondence method, rather it combines traditional andindependent study in the context of distance learning. An approved mentor is required for eachstudent to oversee his progress as he pursues his studies, and to assist the student in developinghis gifts of ministry and/or service in the Church of Jesus Christ.

M ENTORSHIP P ROGRAM

We offer one basic approach to mentored study: The Media Mentored Program. The MediaMentored Program is our standard study approach and primarily utilizes courses with audiolectures on CDs. The lectures substantially introduce the subject to the student, and the readingand writing assignments further develop it. While the mentor continues to be involved in

tutoring the student, the audio lectures reduce the mentor’s involvement, leaving him primarily responsible for answering questions from both the lectures and reading assignments as might beneeded.

The Mentor shall report every six months to the seminary on the progress of the student in hisseminary studies and church attendance and activities.

BENEFITS OF THE D IRECTED STUDY P ROGRAM

The Directed Study Program has many benefits for the student, pastor and church.

1. It allows a student who is training for the ministry the opportunity to fulfill his academic

studies at his own pace, without uprooting his family and disrupting his home.

2. It provides an opportunity for the local church to receive immediate benefit from thestudent’s knowledge gained through his studies, as he instructs others and makes practicalapplication of that knowledge in the local church.

3. It allows the church to keep the student local, so that he can help produce other disciples while training for the pastorate. Thus, a vacuum is avoided, and the core of the church is left







A DMINISTRATION

intact as a source for future expansion.

4. It allows a student to receive continual “hands on” practical experience in the Gospelministry, under the direction of the pastor and church session/consistory or committee onoversight.

5. It gives a student an opportunity to cultivate a pastor’s heart, as he prepares to shepherd theflock of God.

6. In some cases, where the local church supports the student financially in return for hisassisting the pastor with daily ministerial duties, his duties may grow into a full-timeposition especially beneficial to the congregation, since the student already knows the needsof the church.

7. It provides many opportunities for the student to develop his speaking gifts via teaching andpreaching in his church.

8. It enables the student to be properly evaluated as to his ministerial gifts by the session andcongregation, especially in light of meeting their spiritual needs.

9. It offers the possibility of the church establishing a new mission work in the surroundingcommunity through the efforts of the student-pastor. The list of benefits could go on!Throughout the history of the church, many pastors have been trained in the tradition of directed study, which emulates the system used by the Lord Jesus Christ in training His

Apostles, who in turn trained others, one-to-one.

A N A PPROVED M ETHOD OF STUDY

The Directed Study Program has proven to be an acceptable alternative educational method

among various denominations. Graduates currently serve in many different Reformed andPresbyterian denominations, such as, the Reformed Presbyterian Church General Assembly,Presbyterian Church in America, Orthodox Presbyterian Church, Associate ReformedPresbyterian Church, Bible Presbyterian Church, Reformed Presbyterian Church (Hanover),Reformed Church in the United States, as well as independent and other evangelical churches.Currently the alumni consist of individuals serving in 26 different denominations.

R ECOGNITION AND A FFILIATION

Whitefield Theological Seminary is registered with the Florida Commission of Independent Education. This Commission is a division of the Florida Department of

Education. Whitefield is authorized to grant degrees in areas related to religion andecclesiastical vocations. Whitefield has been operating in the State of Florida for thepast 30 years and is accountable to various state laws that regulate postsecondary education and its practices.

Whitefield Theological Seminary is also a member of the Association of Christian SchoolsInternational.







A DMINISTRATTION

Whitefield Theological Seminary is also a member of the Association of Christian ContinuingEducation Schools. This agency is committed to seeking new and better ways of advancingquality education through various distance learning motifs.

Whitefield Theological Seminary is an affiliate with Institute of Theological Studies, aconsortium of seminaries and graduate schools that have developed a collection of theological,philosophical, biblical and practical ministry courses.

Whitefield Theological Seminary is certified by the Reformed Presbyterian Church General Assembly as a postsecondary institution for the training of individuals for Christian service.

A CCREDITATION

A word must be mentioned here about accreditation because it is often a misunderstoodpractice. The primary reason an institution desires to seek accreditation by a government agency approved by the United States Department of Education (USDOE), is to qualify for federal andstate funding and other entitlements programs, not to mention that accreditation has created amonopoly on our postsecondary educational institutions. Accreditation does not address issuesof ‘truth’ or ‘quality’ or ‘competency’ in the educational enterprise when it comes to Christianeducation and ministry. The administration of Whitefield Theological Seminary has determine,according to our educational objectives that our mission is best served by not blending churchand state issues in order to accept government entitlements. This is our conviction and is notmeant to reflect on others who are willing to participate in such programs. We believe thataccountability as to ‘truth’ or ‘quality’ or ‘competency’ rightfully rests with the regulatory (vocational) agencies that oversee and establish ‘quality’ standards in their related fields of endeavor, such as engineering, etc. In the case of ‘ministries’ it is the denominations andchurches that set the standards of ‘truth’ and ‘quality’ and ‘competency’ according to theirstatement of faith and practices. It is these type of agencies that should determine the‘competency’ of the individual and his/her education in light of proper testing and

demonstration of abilities.

On the practical side, Whitefield does recognize that there are academic and professional benefits in being associated with agencies that seek to maintain quality education andconsistently developing newer programs for the delivery of educational information related toprogram development, which includes accrediting agencies. Whitefield is concerned withteaching the ‘truth,’ giving ‘quality’ education, and providing an education that will allow thestudent to have the ‘competency’ necessary to carry out their mission or ministry. Therefore theseminary is seeking ways to affiliate for academic interaction while still being able to maintain anon-entanglement status.

TRANSFER OF CREDITS

While the Seminary has had students transfer to other institutions, both accredited and non-accredited, the final decision regarding the transfer of credits is always left with the receivinginstitutions. The United States Department of Education (USDOE) wrote in its publication onaccreditation, that: “Accreditation does not provide automatic acceptance by an institution of credit earned in another institution… [A]cceptance of students or graduates is always theprerogative of the receiving institution…[F]or this reason… students should take additionalmeasures to determine, prior to enrollment, whether or not their educational goals will be met







A DMINISTRATION

through attendance at a particular institution. These measures should include inquiries toinstitutions to which transfer might be desired…”. All degree programs of WhitefieldTheological Seminary are intended for training in Christian and ecclesiastical vocations. Allprograms are taught from the perspective of a Christian world-and-life view. We encourage allstudents to consider the above recommendation of the USDOE prior to enrolling with WTS. Thisis especially important since the USDOE will not even ensure transfer of credits from one of their own accredited institutions to another accredited institution even if they are members of the same accrediting agency. In addition, we encourage students to contact their respectivedenominations concerning the acceptability of a WTS degree prior to enrollment for the study of the ministry.

Transfer of credits to Whitefield Theological Seminary is permitted if the work required for thecourse is equal to or greater than the requirements by Whitefield. The Seminary refusessubstandard courses for credit transfer, thereby weakening the student’s education. The studentmust submit for our review the course syllabus prior to approval for credit transfer. Coursecredits will be determined as follows: (1) Accepted (transfer of all credits), (2) Modified (transferof some credit towards a course, or (3) rejected (work to inferior to receive the credits.

What authors in divinity he hath read, and is bestacquainted with; and trial shall be made in his knowledge of the grounds of religion, and of hisability to defend the orthodox doctrine contained in them against all unsound and erroneousopinions, especially these of the present age; of his skill in the sense and meaning of such placesof scripture as shall be proposed unto him, in cases of conscience, and in the chronology of the

The Whitefield Graduate School of Counseling has been established to better equip ministersand other Christian workers in the field of Biblical Counseling. With the onslaught of humanismin our society, the effects of sin have been far reaching within the Christian Community. Many churches have sought to counter this degenerating condition within American Christianity by turning to the secular theories of psychology and counseling methods. Rather than the churchconfronting the sins of our people with the Word of God, by the power of the Holy Spirit,through the mediatorial work of Jesus Christ (our Great High Priest), they have allowedprofessional counselors to enter into the ministry with a “calling” to counsel. In doing this they have allowed untrained and ill-equipped individuals to assume positions of ministry in thechurch. As a result, the Gospel is synthesized with secularism. This integration has placed




GRADUATE SCHOOL OF COUNSELINGACADEMIC DEGREES




GRADUATE SCHOOL OF COUNSELING

humanistic views of man on par with Holy Scripture. Psychology has thus replaced theology inthe church and psychologists have replaced God-Ordained ministers. This has allowed hereticaldoctrines and practices within the church, which have had an adverse effect on its members.Such modernism can no longer be tolerated if the church is to be faithful to Jesus Christ.

Biblical Counseling Philosophy

Whitefield Theological Seminary believes that Holy Scripture is the foundation for all of life,faith, and practice. Therefore, God’s Word is our only source of authority in counseling. As our basis for counseling, this Word is absolutely sufficient; it is superior to any and all other sources because there are no other sources of truth. It is abundantly practical in its application. To be aneffective biblical counselor requires effective and faithful handling of the Word of God. Biblicalcounseling is an integral part of, and not a replacement for, theological training. Accordingly, WGS requires that all students complete a minimum number of courses in theological studies. WGS also believes that counseling is an integral part of the ministry of the local church and iscommitted to seeing God’s people trained to effectively counsel.

Biblical Counseling Theology

Man must be viewed in light of Holy Scripture. He is created in the image of God as a rational being, endued with knowledge, righteousness and holiness. After the fall of Adam, all men cameunder the effects of Original Sin. Thereby, man has a sinful nature. It is the effect of this OriginalSin and resulting sins that has affected our world. The means of effecting change is by redemption in Christ and the application of the Bible to our lives. Redemption is accomplishedonly by the sovereign act of God’s Grace. Therefore, our view of God, man, sin, Christ,redemption, sanctification, and the Church is essential to any counseling that refers to itself as biblical. Whitefield maintains that it is the Reformed theological interpretation of Scripturealone that establishes the basis for confronting sin and correcting sinful practices. No othertheology will effectively deal with man and sin in a biblical model.

Biblical Counseling Methodology

WTS is committed to the Nouthetic Counseling method as developed by Dr. Jay Adams. Thismethod was developed based upon biblical principles that require the counselor to confront sinin the life of the individual. It recognizes that sin is fundamental in problems that occur in life,and unless we deal with the sin in the counselee, we will not resolve the problems that havedeveloped as a result of sin. This method does not use modern psychological treatment theoriesfor analyzing behavior. Rather, it seeks to understand behavior as a result of sin in the life of theindividual. The answer to sinful behavior is found only in the Holy Scriptures. Thus, we arerequired to confront the individual in Christian love, with the demands of the Scriptures thatthey repent from their sins and put on the new life in Christ Jesus, by the power of the Holy Spirit, according to the Word of God.

Whitefield Graduate School of Counseling offers Master’s, Doctoral, and Post-Doctoral degreesin Biblical Counseling.

Christian Philosophy of Education

The whole concept of Christian education is based on the prospect that there is but one truth,the truth of the self-revelation of God as set forth in the Bible. The very concept of the termChristian as applied to education assumes that it is impossible to understand the process of education apart from the revelation of God as set forth in the Bible. We believe that the pursuitof knowledge must be established upon this very foundation if our educational theory and

methodology is even to resemble anything remotely Christian.

The sacred Scriptures alone give certainty to our efforts to correctly educate students concerninglife and academic disciplines. Unity in education is bound by this principle: that every fact of lifeis given purpose and meaning and can only be understood in relation to Scriptural authority.

Education, which is truly and distinctly Christian, must be founded upon the principle of anauthoritative and sovereign God who has spoken truth that encompasses all areas of life. Thereis nothing in this universe upon which human beings can have full and true knowledge unlessthey take the Bible into account.

It is by necessity, then, that we must have a definite interpretation of the Scriptures to producethe desired philosophy of education. We believe there can be only one theological interpretation

which will place a bibliocentric postulate in our philosophy, that is, the interpretation set forth inhistorical Christian theology. If God is to be central in our educational process, then His Wordand its proper interpretation must be essential. This interpretation is based upon the Reformedtradition.

The necessity of a correct theological interpretation of Scripture can easily be understood as toits importance in developing a theocentric (God centered) philosophy of education, as opposedto an anthropocentric (man centered) philosophy.




GRADUATE SCHOOL OF EDUCATIONACADEMIC DEGREES Master of Arts in Religion




GRADUATE SCHOOL OF E DUCATION

We believe then, as Christians of the Reformed faith, we must seek to bring all aspects of creation and man’s life into a fundamental understanding of the Bible. For the Bible alonepresupposes the intelligibility of any part of the universe in which man lives. God’s standard of truth is the proposition as set forth in His Word. It is the standard of truth to which all claims of knowledge must be brought, so as to establish their validity.

Philosophy may be defined as a systematic view of life and the world. Rightfully stated, it isman’s relationship to the world around him. Biblical theism begins with a presuppositional belief that philosophical truth must be formulated from the only source of truth available toman, the Holy Bible.

A Reformed Christian educational philosophy espouses a world and life view devoted to thedevelopment of the student’s spiritual, academic, and physical welfare. It seeks to enable thestudent to understand his place, meaning, purpose and responsibilities in his present existenceunder the providence of a sovereign God….herein lies the meaning to the unity of the universe. A world and life view must be established upon this foundation.

Therefore, at every point in our educational process we are confronted by the necessity of bringing every department of study under the authority of God’s Word. If we are to haveconsistency in our teaching in the academic areas in the arts and sciences, and establish theunity of various fields, we must have theology as our basis. There is but one system of truthresulting from one source. The Bible is the main text in the curriculum of every academicsubject.

There is a growing need in our current generation to more closely examine the relationship between church and state. Through out the history of the Church, Christianity has actively beeninvolved in a direct relationship with the civil magistrate. The history of church-state relationshas been a topic of much theological and philosophical discussion throughout the history of ournation. Today new issues continue to rise and the questions on church and state relations returnto center stage. What is the biblical relationship between church and state?

History of the Doctorate Degree

The term ‘doctorate’ comes from the Latin word ‘doceo’ meaning ‘I teach.’ The doctorateappeared in medieval European universities as a ‘license to teach,’ from the Latin phrase ‘licentiadocendi.’ The concept of ‘doctor’ can be traced back to the Early Church when the term referredto the Apostles and Elders of the Church whose calling was to ‘teach church doctrine and defendthe faith of the Church.’ Later the term was applied to the Church Fathers and other Christianauthorities who taught theology and bible interpretation. The right to grant a ‘licentiadocendi’ (license or doctor to teach) was originally reserved to the organized Catholic (universal)Church of Jesus Christ. In order to receive the distinction the applicant was required to passtheological and biblical exams. Candidates were also required to take oaths of allegiance to theChurch, its leadership, and dogma as officially interpreted and settled. This right of granting a

DOCTORAL DEGREESPROFESSIONAL AND ACADEMIC DEGREES

Doctor of Philosophy / Doctor of Theology Doctor of Education / Doctor of Literature




D OCTORAL S TUDIES

doctorate degree became a contentious issue between the Church authorities and thoseuniversities seeking to award the degree independently of the Church. The nature of the degree

was ‘licentia ubequie docendi’ the ‘universal license to teach.’ In 1213 the Pope finally grantedthe ‘right’ to the University of Paris to convey the doctorate independently of the Church.However, it should be noted that the university was owned and operated by the Church.Nevertheless, this was a major milestone in university education.

The view of the doctorate by the university originally took on a form of apprenticeship directly related to a religious order or guild. Students were required seven years of study prior to beingadmitted to an order or guild as ‘master.’ Students entered the university as ‘bachelors’ and thenmatriculated towards receiving the ‘Master’s’ degree (having mastered their field of study) thuscompleting their education. Later the university enrolled students who eventually completed a‘bachelors’ degree and then continued towards the completion of the ‘masters’ degree. In theearly times of the university’s existence the term ‘masters’ and ‘doctor’ were almost consideredsynonymous, but over time the doctorate was elevated as a higher qualification than the master’sdegree.

The doctorate has gone through various changes over time in both its usage and meaning withinthe university/seminary system. The German universities began the practice of requiringprospective lecturers to have completed a ‘research doctorate’ prior to filling a faculty position.The doctorate was originally awarded in theology, law, medicine and philosophy (Arts andSciences). This tradition caught on rather quickly and ‘research oriented’ doctorates became thestandard in university education, in particular for academic careers within the universities. TheDoctor of Philosophy (Ph.D. or D.Phil) from the Latin ‘philosophiae doctorate,’ meaning‘teaching in philosophy’ is the highest academic degree awarded by collegiate institutions.

Research Doctorates

Although the research doctorate is almost universally accepted as the standard qualification foran academic career, its standards are a relatively new invention primarily in Americanuniversities. The European research type doctorates were based solely on research, writing,examinations, dissertation and its oral defense. Even to this day, many European doctorates are

based on this methodological approach. This doctorate program normally requires qualifying

entrance exams, completion of assigned doctoral courses and/or colloquies and researchseminars. Requirements may vary as a result of the degree major and/or university requirements. The ‘research doctorate’ is more academic and theoretical than practical. Uponthe completion of the core prerequisites, the student is given an oral examination in order toqualify to continue his dissertation. The dissertation is normally directed by the institution, andfaculty advisors are assigned to oversee the dissertational research and writing.

Upon completion the candidate is required to orally present and defend his dissertation before acommittee appointed by the institution and upon successful completion, the student is awardedthe doctorate degree. It normally takes about five years to complete this type of doctorate (or six

years without a masters degree).

Higher Doctorates

There was, in the older universities, what is now called ‘Higher Doctorates’ which required anextended period of study in a particular field wherein candidates must show themselves to beleading experts in their subjects. These doctorates do not have course, colloquia, or seminarlecture requirements.

Post-doctoral Studies: Habilitation

The ‘habilitation’ is the higher academic qualification awarded by the university. Earned after

D OCTORAL S TUDIES

obtaining a research doctorate, the ‘habilitation’ requires the candidate to write a professorialdissertation or publication based on independent scholarly accomplishments, reviewed by anddefended before an academic committee in a process similar to that for the doctoral dissertation.However, the level of scholarship has to be considerably higher than that required for a Doctorof Philosophy dissertation, i.e. in particular, the research not only has to be of special quality andquantity, but also has to be accomplished independently of any other academic form of

supervision. The ‘habilitation’ normally requires ten to thirty scholarly research articlespublished during the habilitation period of four to 10 years. Sometimes a major book publicationis required for the defense. Sometimes, the teaching ability of the habilitation candidate isevaluated by the committee as well. The candidate is awarded either a particular doctoratedegree reflecting this advanced academic scholarship, or a ‘certification’ is offered.

Many universities today offer post-doctoral research studies for individuals who have completedtheir doctorate degree. This often leads to a ‘certification’ or ‘degree.’ In the United States it isalso used for gaining a tenure-track faculty position.

Purpose of the Degree Program

The doctoral degree is an advanced postgraduate program with a view to intellectualdevelopment in the field of theological and philosophical studies that will advance the field of religious academia by written contribution to that body of knowledge that will be a benefit to theecclesiastical community. The nature of the program is designed to increase scholarly researchthrough a rigorous study by comprehensive analysis and critical evaluation leading to additionalspecialized research and creative theological methodology as developed by the student.

B IOGRAPHY OF R EV . G EORGE W HITEFIELD

“In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they willprophesy.” (Acts 2:17, 18)

George Whitefield lived from 1714 to 1770. In his adult life he was as famous as any man in theEnglish- speaking world. From 22 years of age he was the foremost figure in a religiousmovement that held the attention of the entire English-speaking world-the Great Awakening.Perhaps only the Reformation or even the apostolic age itself could surpass the spiritual fervorGod poured out at that time. George Whitefield preached in England, Scotland, Wales, Gibraltar,Bermuda, and the American colonies. As we look back on this era, it seems that so many of thepreachers of the time were men of doctrine, and men of fervor who strove to give their lives

100% to Christ Jesus.

To understand Whitefield, we must think about the spiritual and moral conditions in England before the revival. In 1730’s and 1740’s England was foul with corruption and crippled by spiritual decay. The ruling classes were primarily deists, if they were religious at all. The churchin England was the Church of England. The preaching from the pulpit at that time was quitecold, and the primary concern was that none should show any sign of being “enthusiastic” aboutreligion. Meanwhile, public behavior had become so outrageous that importing liquor was banned (1689). The result was the gin craze, where everyone made their own liquor. The effect,according to the Bishop of London, was that gin made the English people what they never were before, cruel and inhuman. In those days, the rich got richer and the poor got poorer. Streetchildren and the insane were cruelly treated, the London Underworld thrived, gambling waseverywhere, and stage productions were obscene even by today’s standards.

The only solace for Christians was in the formation of small private societies. The Church hadsanctioned and even encouraged their formation, and by 1730 nearly one hundred existed inLondon, and a hundred more scattered throughout England. The Societies did not actually domuch, but their very existence was both providential and meaningful for they would be thecradle of the Great Awakening.

At the very time when revival seemed impossible all of England was stirred by the voice of apreacher barely 22 years old, George Whitefield. He began to speak from the pulpit with fervorand power and soon no church could hold the multitude that flocked to hear him. No one couldpreach or even sound like Whitefield. His voice was like a trumpet, which could be muted or

played to its full power. It was excellent in melody and range, and his messages were emphasized with graceful gestures. The voice of George Whitefield also had phenomenal carrying power. Oneauthor simply concluded, “he preaches like a lion.”

The voice of George Whitefield was soon joined by many others. Starting with Whitefield, atremendous chorus of praise and preaching rang throughout the land, and was sustained for at

least fifty years. The revival changed the entire temper of English society. The church wasrestored to life and activity. The people had a fresh zeal that purified their literature and theirmanners.

The Boy of the Bell

Although a number of George Whitefield’s relatives had gone to Oxford and become members of the clergy, his grandfather was a businessman and his father was proprietor of the Bell Inn inGloucester. It was the largest and finest establishment in town, and its main hall had twoauditoriums, one of which was used to stage plays. But when he was only two tragedy struck this young prosperous family. George’s father died. For the next few years his mother ran the business with the help of her eldest son. For the first sixteen years of his life, George must haveseen both the frivolous and the terrible side of life at the Bell Inn. While the other children worked, George’s mother saw his ability and made sure he attended school from the age of 12 inthe local parish. He was a gifted speaker, had an excellent memory, and often acted in the schoolplays. By 16 he was proficient in Latin and could read New Testament Greek.

When George was 8 years of age his mother remarried. The marriage was tragic, and the inn wasalmost lost due to financial difficulties. At age 15 George had to drop his studies and work for a year and a half to help support the family. It seemed tragic, but it was a good experience forGeorge to experience real life. He learned to associate with people from all ranks of society as hepoured liquor for them and cleaned up after them. George worked hard by day and at night heread the Bible and dreamed of going to Oxford. In time his stepfather left and his older brotherregained control of the inn. However, there was no longer any money to send George to college.”For a time he and his mother were heartbroken, but in time they learned that he could go toOxford as a “servitor,” and so in 1732, at age 17, he left for the University with great eagerness.

Studies at Oxford University

Meanwhile, in America, the Puritan era had passed and religious fervor died down-some wouldsay it had fallen asleep. But from just this time to the Revolutionary War itself came the Great Awakening. It began with Jonathan Edwards, a preacher in the Puritan mold fromMassachusetts. He was the most learned and respected theologian America had yet produced,and although brilliant in mind, his sermons were reserved and dry. In 1734 he began to preachagainst the popular notion that man by his own effort could accomplish the purposes of God.Edwards taught that all we accomplish is by God’s grace. With this simple Biblical message arevival began that surprised even Edwards. Within a year a great revival was spreadingthroughout the towns of Massachusetts.

Two years before the Massachusetts revival began Whitefield entered Oxford University. He wasextremely devout and he busily visited prisoners and poorhouses with a mind to earn God’sapproval. As a “servitor” he lived as a butler to 3 or 4 highly placed students. He would washtheir clothes, shine their shoes, and do their housework. A servitor lived on whatever scraps of clothing or money they gave him. He had to wear a special gown and it was forbidden forstudents of a high rank to speak to him. Most servitors left rather than endure the humiliation.

Initially, other students tried to get George to join their party life, but he resisted, and they soonleft him alone. Whitefield plunged ahead in his studies, but he longed for some spiritualfellowship. His mates at Pembroke College had begun to call Whitefield a “Methodist,” which was the derogatory word they used to describe members of the Holy Club. The Holy Club was asmall meeting at of Oxford students led by a University fellow named John Wesley. To other

students their disciplined way of life looked foolish, and the word “Methodist” implied that they lived by a mindless method like windup robots. George had never met them, and being a servitorhe could not introduce himself to them. But Charles Wesley heard of this devout and industriousstudent, and breaking traditional boundaries approached George and invited him to breakfast.The friendships made among the core members of the Holy Club and the many casual associates were the most important friendships for all of them throughout their life.

The Holy Club members rose early, had lengthy devotions, strove for self-discipline, and ensuredthere was no moment left throughout the day that was wasted. At night they kept a journal toreview their life and to root out sin. They celebrated the Eucharist on Sunday, fasted Wednesday and Friday, and used Saturday as a Sabbath to prepare for the Lord’s feast. The Holy Club wasstrongly devoted to the Church of England and knew its history and rules better than almostanyone. They also visited prisons and poor houses, and contributed to a relief fund for the needsof inmates and especially their children. The Holy Club also took great pains to shepherd younger students, teaching them to avoid bad characters and encouraging them to live a soberand studious life, even helping them when they got stuck in their studies.

The Holy Club was a fine group to belong to, however they had a problem, theirs was a works based righteousness. All their work brought them little joy because the nature of their salvation was still a distant mystery. In short, they had not experienced or learned of the true grace of Godpresent in the gospel of Jesus Christ. Whitefield became aware of his inner yearning to know God more and more, but did not know where to turn. In his voracious reading he chanced upona book written long ago by an obscure Scot, the Rev. Henry Scougal, entitled “The Life of God inthe Soul of Man.” From this book he learned that all his good things he thought earned himGod’s favor were of no account at all. What he needed was to have Christ formed “within” him,that is, to be born again.

Scougal taught that Christianity is not about external duties to perform, nor is it an emotion orfeeling one has. He defined true religion as the union of the soul with God-a participation in thedivine nature, living according to the image of God drawn upon our soul; or in the apostle’sphrase, it is to have “Christ formed within us.” From this teaching Whitefield learned what anamazing thing it is that God wants to dwell in our heart and do his work through us. What anamazing grace it is, that it is possible for the life of God to dwell in the soul of man.

This wonderful book exasperated Whitefield because he did not know how to be born again. Heredoubled his efforts, he stopped eating certain foods and gave the money saved to the poor, he wore only a patched gown and dirty shoes, he would spend all night in fervent sweaty prayer,and he would speak to no one. To deny himself he quit the only thing he enjoyed, the Holy Club.His studies faltered and he was threatened with expulsion. He became subject to strange andterrible emotions and students threw dirt at him, concluding he was mad. At Lent in 1735 White-field decided to eat only a little bread and sage tea. He prayed outdoors even on the iciest morn-ings until part of one of his hands turned black. Finally he was so sick, emaciated, and weak, hecould not even climb the stairs to leave his room. A physician was sent for and he was confinedto bed for 7 weeks.

Amazingly, it was during this time of rest and recuperation where he was finally changed. Hekept simple devotions as his strength allowed. He began to pray simply, he dropped all of hisown ideas and efforts, and began to really listen to God. At one point he simply threw himself onthe bed and cried out, “I thirst!” It was perhaps the first time he had called out to God in utterhelplessness, and it was the first time in over a year that he felt happy. At this moment of totalsurrender to Almighty God a new thought now came to his heart, “George, you have what youasked! You ceased to struggle and simply believed and you are born again!” It was so simple,almost absurdly simple, to be saved by such a simple prayer that it made Whitefield laugh. Andas soon as he laughed the floodgates of heaven burst and he felt “Joy, joy, unspeakable joy that’s big with glory!”

At home in Gloucester Whitefield kept to the scheduled life of the Holy Club but it now had anew meaning, not to win God’s favor or to be righteous, but to focus him and the time he spenton serving God. In recuperation he was very diligent to do his Daily Bread. He would read apassage of the Bible in English, then in Greek, and then read Matthew Henry’s commentary. He would pray over each line he read out of these three books until he received it, understood it, andit became a part of him. He even founded a small society that met nightly. The Bishop of

Gloucester took notice of this exceptional young man and offered to ordain him as soon as theorders came, but because Whitefield was afraid of being ordained too young and growing proudhe made a Jacob’s vow that he would be ordained if, by some miracle, money was supplied forhim to return to Oxford and graduate.

Soon money did come in drop by drop. An old vicar asked him to preach, and enjoyed thesermon so much he gave him a pound. One of his brothers had become a sea captain and uponreturning to port gave him some money. He was given a horse by one person and some clothes by another. Then news came from Oxford that the John and Charles Wesley had gone to Georgiaas missionaries, and someone was needed to lead the Holy Club. So Whitefield returned toOxford, graduated, and was ordained. He tried to live quietly there for a while. His one word wasthat each student there was indeed a legion, but that in converting one, the equivalent of a wholetown was converted. But there was a problem. From the time he opened his mouth to give hisfirst sermon, everyone wanted to hear more. The four weeks he had spent giving inauguralmessages in Gloucester, Bristol, and Bath had caused a small revival already, and near the end of that short time, the churches were packed full, and the streets were mobbed with people tryingto get in. He was only 22.

A Lion Begins To Ro ar

At Oxford, Whitefield studied for a Master’s degree and presided over the Holy Club, and soonmany former members of the Club invited him to come and speak. Before long several of theother religious societies began to invite him to come and speak; his hand was set to the plow andthere was no turning back. At this time Whitefield was struggling with another question, whether or not to follow the Wesley’s example and be a missionary to Georgia. He had received agood offer to preach in London. He struggled to accept and live a nice life, or to suffer hardshipin an American Colony. As he was considering his call, a letter of appeal from John Wesley

arrived. Wesley wrote of adults from the farthest parts of Europe and Asia and the inmostkingdoms of Africa; not to mention the countless native nations present, who were a vastmultitude without a shepherd, begging for spiritual help. Whitefield was resolved to go, but hadto wait a year until the next ship was ready to set sail for Georgia. It was during this year that Whitefield startled the nation awake.

He returned to Gloucester and preached twice each Sunday, and thousands began to flock tohear him. At Bristol he preached each day of the week, and for the four weeks he was there thepeople nearly rioted to see him. His sermons were fresh and full of spiritual joy. He spent muchof his day giving advice to those who, as he called it, had become “awakened souls.” Whitefieldalso received donations and began to make a large offering for the settlers, especially the poor inGeorgia. His messages were simple, direct, and taught the basic doctrines of being born again or being justified by faith. But to people who had not heard this clearly explained before, it was likea lightning shock to the heart. He was declaring, not his own message, but God’s, “Ye must be born again.” On days he did not preach he was still busy from 7 a.m. to midnight with those whosought his prayer or guidance.

As soon as his preaching became nationally recognized some in the Church began to persecutehim as an “enthusiast.” The Church of England was comfortable with the message that if you aregood, quiet, and show up to church you are saved. Whitefield was not, and disturbed the churcheven more through his prayer that the preachers themselves might be born again.

Just prior to his departure for Georgia, Charles Wesley returned and declared, “The wholenation is in an uproar.” Another said, “All London and the whole nation ring of the great things

of God done by his ministry.” So at this very time, when thousands flocked after him, George Whitefield set sail for America.

A Mission ary Life

In all, George Whitefield made seven trips to America, lasting from six months to four years.

Much of his reputation rests on the sensation he created in the colonies during his second journey, where he, along with Edwards and Gilbert Tennant, served the Great Awakening at itspeak.

The Wesleys fared poorly in Georgia-perhaps they were too refined to endure the pioneering life, but Whitefield, who knew real life very well from his childhood at the inn, thrived. The largeaudiences in England allowed him to bring many provisions, medicines, and foods with him, andhis work to distribute them to the poor, and especially to help the orphaned children, made alasting impression on the colony. Georgia was only five years old, and many of the settlers weredebtors released from prisons. They were a poor class of settlers with no education, noknowledge of farming, and poor health. Many onlookers thought the colony would fail, but Whitefield believed otherwise. He brought two teachers with him to establish a school, andurged others to be raised as well. Mission life was a great blessing, but soon he returned toEngland. Hearing of the controversies which raged about his ministry while he was gone, he feltlike Daniel heading for the lion’s den.

On his return to London Whitefield found that five churches were now closed to him, yet fourkept their doors open to him, and so he returned to his demanding preaching schedule. Hespoke at a number of societies each day, in addition to services throughout the week and onSunday in churches he visited or was invited to. The revival he had ignited in the Bristol andGloucester area continued, and at this time even those in the nobility invited George Whitefieldin order to hear his messages. But whether he preached to commoners or in private audiences inthe exclusive drawing rooms of England, his message was the same. And at the top of society, theresults were mixed. Many lords and ladies believed, while others took offense at the suggestionthat they were sinners who needed to repent.

As the revival grew beyond imagination, more and more churches closed their doors to him,

Whitefield began to entertain a new idea, that of preaching in the open fields. He knew it wouldprovoke a strong reaction against him, but he wanted to be free of depending on a church orsociety room being available. In February 1789, Whitefield set out for Kingswood, near Bristol where there was no parish or school. The district was home to thousands of coal miners whoexisted in deplorable conditions. Men, women, and children worked long hours in the dark earthamidst death and disease, and they were famous for being vicious to strangers and occasionalpillaging and terrorizing of the nearby town of Bristol. Whitefield saw them as a sheep without ashepherd. Field preaching was sanctioned by the church when no building was available, andanother clergyman before him had indeed taught the miners in the open air. Whitefield wasresolved to try.

In February it was freezing cold, but when he went through the settlements and huts he found200 people willing to come and hear him. Whitefield spoke graphically about how much Jesusloved them and how by cruel crucifixion he died for them just to save them from their sins. As hepreached Jesus’ love and salvation to them, he began to notice pale streaks on the blackenedfaces of a few miners. Soon all of their dark faces were streaked with white gutters formed by tears as the gospel of Christ convicted them one by one. Three days later Whitefield wassummoned before the chancellor of the dioceses who forbade him to preach in Bristol again. Thenext day he preached at the coal mine, and this time, 2000 individuals were listening. The nextSunday there were 10,000, and the townspeople began to far outnumber the coal miners. OnSunday March 25, 1739, the crowd was estimated at 23,000. The Great Awakening could now make an exponential leap, through the unorthodox and controversial approach of preaching inthe open; there seemed no limit.

At Bristol, Whitefield began a young people’s meeting starting with 50 people in his sister’shouse. However, within six weeks, this meeting filled a nearby bowling green with 5,000 people. All told there were around 30,000 people who came to hear him in open spaces around Bristoleach week. Whitefield was perplexed about how to shepherd them while he prepared to leave forhis second missionary journey to America. It was then that he was finally able to prevail on John Wesley to leave the society rooms and enter into the open air. Later he did the same with Charles

Wesley. In this way shepherds for the thousands were raised up, and the Wesleys were set at thehead of England’s greatest revival. However, it should be noted that under John Wesley therevivals began to wane, and it was clear that the revivals of Whitefield that resulted from hispreaching did not continue with John Wesley.

Whitefield preached all over England, and that summer it is estimated that he preached to overtwo million people. His bold field preaching had shaken for good the weak and timidChristianity of the times. In August 1739 he set sail once more for America. On his arrival inPhiladelphia, the paper proclaimed that George Whitefield had preached to more people thanany other man alive, probably more than any other man in history. Yet he left his ministry inEngland and came to the colonies because he had a burden for them, and a prayer that they may not live as thirteen scattered colonies, but as one nation under God.

When Whitefield arrived in America, a number of regional revivals were under way. In New Jersey and Pennsylvania William Tennant and his four sons preached the new birth toPresbyterians. Tennant was unhappy with the resistance of Yale and Harvard Administrators tothe new evangelical fervor, and he founded his own school to train preachers. Derisively calledthe “log college,” it would lead to the formation of Princeton University. In New Jersey TheodoreFrelinghuysen spread revival throughout the Dutch Reformed Church. In Virginia there was theminister and hymn writer Sam Davies. In the backwoods of Pennsylvania, Connecticut and New Jersey, the missionary David Brainerd traveled on horseback spreading the word to Native Americans. They all served wonderfully within geographic or denominational boundaries, but it was George Whitefield whom God would use to tie them all together.

When revival in Jonathan Edwards’ congregation died down he invited Whitefield to speak, andhe found himself was moved to tears by his preaching. Edward’s wife Sarah wrote, “It is wonderful to see how he casts a spell over the audience by proclaiming the simplest truths of the

Bible…” In Philadelphia, William Tennant welcomed him warmly and he preached from thecourthouse steps to streets that were packed with 78,000 people. While in Philadelphia Whitefield met and befriended a famous agnostic named Benjamin Franklin. Franklin, wholoved to hear him speak, wrote about him with glowing praise and became his Americanpublisher. So amazed was Franklin at the carrying power of his voice, he calculated that in anopen space as many as 30,000 people could hear his voice. He was thus convinced that thelegendary crowds who had gathered in England could indeed hear him.

Whitefield followed a punishing schedule and never let up for an instant. He was either travelingto preach or actually preaching. Few realized at first what God was doing through him, but hisendless travel was uniting the nation spiritually as community after community were moved by his sermons. Whitefield preached to Presbyterians, Congregationalists, Episcopalians, Catholics,Quakers, and Moravians. He was the first man to so clearly cut across all denominational barriers by preaching the simple truth of the gospel. America had been populated by numeroussects, each trying to live a purer life to the Lord than did their parent church, and each sought tomaintain their distinctives by eschewing the others. George Whitefield seemed to be reversingthis trend, and huge crowds gathered to hear him from Providence to Baltimore. Many people were gathering together and discovering their common joy in the gospel of Jesus Christ. Soonthe regional mentality of Europe and the sectarian spirit that brought them to America was being lessened as they found themselves united a common experience of faith. In their joy intheir new life in Christ, few realized the incredible toll that the ceaseless traveling and preaching was taking on their beloved preacher.

George Whitefield died on September 30, 1770 in Newburyport, Massachusetts, thirty miles
