Overview

By the time that the Rev. L. Tyerman set out to write his biography of George Whitefield more than half a dozen similar works had already been published. Yet Tyerman brought new material to light regarding Whitefield’s life and ministry, granting a fuller picture than was previously available. The Life of the Rev. George Whitefield portrays a man who in practice belonged to no church, but loved all who love the Lord Jesus. This first volume begins with Whitefield’s childhood in 1714 and covers his time in college, his ordination, and his early ministry. Part two of L. Tyerman’s biography of George Whitefield. It picks up in 1741 with Whitefield’s second visit to Scotland and proceeds to Whitefield’s death in 1770. A very detailed and in-depth work, this biography is a great compliment to shorter works on the life of Whitefield. Be inspired by the personal devotion, piety, and character of a man who preached to crowds of thousands.
