Answer 2

B.Preachers who helped shape the Great Awakening

Step-by-step explanation:

• Jonathan Edwards (October 5, 1703-22 March 1758) was a theologian, congregational pastor and missionary to Native Americans during the colonial era. He is known as one of the greatest and deepest Protestant theologians in the history of the United States. His work has a very broad scope, but it is often associated with his defense of Calvinist theology and the puritan heritage.

• George Whitefield (December 16, 1714 - September 30, 1770), minister of the Church of England, was a leading leader of the Methodist movement. He became well known for his enthusiastic preaching in the American colonies of the British Empire, standing out clearly as the main leader of the first evangelical movement in the new world, called the First Great Awakening, a spontaneous succession of Protestant Christian "revivals" in the Anglo-American colonies. . Some historians have come to call him "the first modern celebrity", for his recognition among the popular classes.
