Parr's well-written and well-researched Inventing George Whitefield takes a unique and compelling angle by not only describing who Whitefield was and what he did but also by explaining how he became so profoundly symbolic in the broader Atlantic world."--Samuel C. Smith, Journal of American History, June 2016 (Vol. 103, no. 1)"Readers interested in transatlantic revivalism or slavery and Christianity will find much to think about after reading this book.
