A GREAT AWAKENING – Chad Marriott
Original Review by Jonathan Broxton
A Great Awakening is a historical drama film written and directed by Joshua Enck, which examines the friendship between George Whitefield and Benjamin Franklin. Franklin was, of course, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, a pioneering writer, scientist, inventor, statesman, diplomat, and philosopher, as well as one of the most admired men in American history. Whitefield, meanwhile, was an English Anglican priest who was one of the founders of Methodism and the evangelical movement and who, after moving to the United States in the 1730s, played a key role in the subsequent Great Awakening religious movement that changed the American church forever.
