George Whitefield (1712-1770) was an Anglican priest and one of the founders of Methodism. He was a talented preacher and influential evangelist during the Great Awakening. While he is associated with Methodism, his theology is Calvinist. This collection of sermons covers several biblical passages, but also a few topics which are not as well-developed in contemporary preaching. I cannot recall the last time a I heard a sermon on “The Heinous Sin of Profane Cursing and Swearing.” His sermon on “The Benefits of an Early Piety” is quite good.
