| Summary |
"The Works of the Reverend George Whitefield, Vol. 4 (of 6)" by George Whitefield is a collection of sermons, tracts, and letters written in the mid-18th century. This volume encompasses a broad array of important religious topics, including doctrinal disputes, reflections on Christian living, and responses to influential figures of the time, emphasizing the fervor of early evangelical preaching and personal faith. The opening of this volume consists primarily of transcriber’s notes explaining the formatting of Whitefield's original texts, followed by an address to the Bishop of London. Whitefield begins by discussing the importance of vigilance in spiritual life, cautioning against lukewarmness and enthusiasm, two extremes that threaten true Christianity. He engages in a respectful yet critical dialogue with the Bishop regarding his pastoral letter that addressed some of Whitefield's previous writings and the controversial subject of religious enthusiasm, emphasizing the need for strong personal conviction and the guiding influence of the Holy Spirit in matters of faith.
