I guess Jonathon Edwards got it all wrong too in his sermon, "Siiners in the Hands of an angry God", sparking the Great Awakening.

Technically, didn't Edwards' sermon propel the Great Awakening, not start it? Seems someone mentioned that the other day.

Not discounting Edwards, just trying to get my history right.

I guess that would technically be correct. BUt it was a rather powerful propulsion, much like having a 2 month old child suddenly shoot up to 12.

I wouldn't want to discount George Whitefield's, or even John Wesley's contributions either.

You are correct. Edwards' sermon was by no means the spark which lit it.
