Summary: "According to Whitefield’s wishes, his long-time friend and fellow founder of Methodism, John Wesley, preached this funeral sermon at both of Whitefield’s London chapels. While Whitefield’s Calvinist colleagues understandably objected to Wesley’s omission of his Calvinism, it was nonetheless a heartfelt tribute to his dear friend and fellow evangelist.

Summary: "...a political sermon by Whitefield displaying the British Protestant patriotism and anti-Catholicism that he shared with many evangelicals."

Summary: "This sixteen-page pamphlet includes two 1744 letters from James Habersham to Whitefield relating to the Bethesda (house of mercy) Orphan House ... [providing] details on the spiritual and temporal condition of the orphanage."

Summary: "Whitefield’s letter replies to an anonymous pamphlet that was critical of the revival in New England, questioning its authenticity and labelling it fanatical."

Summary: A sermon on Jeremiah 33 preached first in Boston, Massachusetts, during the height of Whitefield's popularity, and then again in Glasgow, Scotland.

Summary: A farewell sermon given in Moorfields, London, stressing themes of salvation, atonement, and justification.

Summary: "In this moralistic sermon (a common genre in the evangelical movement), aimed at promoting Christian conduct on the Whitaker, Whitefield laments that even some who people profess to be Christian have fallen into the sin of drunkenness. He goes on to give six reasons why drunkenness is incompatible with Christianity and argues that it imperils one’s salvation. Whitefield exhorts his hearers to turn away from the sin of drunkenness to a life of prayer and self-denial in which they labor “to be filled with the Spirit of God” (Eph. 5:6)."

Summary: This theme [of transformation/rebirth] is continued in The Marks of the New Birth, which takes as its text Acts 19:5: “Have you received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?” Here, Whitefield presses the necessity of receiving the Holy Spirit in order to be a true Christian, the marks by which one can determine they have received the Spirit, and he then gives practical words of advice to people in different stages of their spiritual journeys.
