The Great Awakening of the 18th century resulted in:
(A) A more emotional approach to religion.
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
The great awakening of the Christian religion in England and the United States is a return of belief in God that had become less important during the seventeenth century when the role of churches was more political than spiritual. It took place in three major periods:
- First period: from 1720 to 1750;
- Second period: from 1790 to 1840;
- Third period: from 1855 to 1930
The first period took place during the Age of Enlightenment. It was a time when writers and scientists tried to understand better the world around them. Religion was reconciled with science, and Christians developed their intelligence and knowledge.
The second period was a return to the consciousness of God through emotions and sensations. It was a reaction to the rationalist philosophy of the first awakening where the Bible had become less important than the scientific texts. Instead of observing the world, Christians returned to their sacred texts while trying to regain a stronger spirituality.
It was the Baptist and Methodist congregations that were at the origin of this second part of the great Christian awakening of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Many preachers traveled the United States to spread this new message.
