When Benjamin Franklin Met the Reverend Whitefield: Enlightenment, Revival, and the Power of the Printed Word (Witness to History)
While the background information on the lives of these two great men is impeccably researched and written, this book is more than a biography of Franklin and Whitefield, but it is a study of their times and the relevance on their writings and teachings on their own culture as well as in today's culture... Very readable and interesting.(Book Bargains and Previews)This book more than succeeds in achieving its goal of helping students understand and appreciate the cultural and intellectual environment of the Anglophone world.(Sheila SkempNew England Quarterly)
