George Whitefield
George Whitefield is not a figure mentioned in the Bible; rather, he was a prominent 18th-century Anglican preacher and evangelist known for his role in the Great Awakening in Britain and America. Born in 1714, Whitefield was instrumental in spreading the message of evangelical Christianity, emphasizing personal faith and the necessity of being "born again," concepts that resonate with biblical teachings but are not directly attributed to any specific biblical character.His ministry often involved open-air preaching, which was quite revolutionary at the time, and he was known for his dynamic oratory skills. Whitefield's emphasis on regeneration and the necessity of a personal relationship with Christ aligns with biblical passages such as John 3:3, where Jesus speaks of being "born again," and Romans 10:9-10, which discusses confession and belief for salvation. While Whitefield himself does not appear in Scripture, his work can be seen as a continuation of the evangelical mission emphasized in the New Testament, particularly the Great Commission found in Matthew 28:19-20.
