[edit] Notes
What was Geroge Whitefields most famous sermon ?
This should really be divided into categories.
"It is difficult to say wherein the effect of his preaching lay; certainly not in his language or logic, for his printed sermons contain nothing remarkable; it must have been by earnestness and charm of voice that he could attract to him the rich as well as the poor."
This is too subjective for an encyclopedia. Certainly Whitefield himself would argue that it was not the neither 'his language or logic' nor 'charm of voice' that affected the crowds, but the biblically faithful content of his sermons and the unction of the Holy Spirit. Perhaps it is better to simply describe Whitefield's influence and to leave the cause behind it to the personal opinion of students and scholars of Whitefield.

"...which at that time was a center of vice in all its worst forms..."
Since "worst forms" of vice is a subjective statement, this may need a reword. Actually, some of the peculiar description of tears, etc. needs citation. 216.84.48.187 00:46, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Rating: Useful information. Several uncited statements. Poorly written with phrases or sentences possibly copied from sources (this is unverified). Writing needs cleanup and a citation frisking. 216.84.48.187 00:52, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

the image of Wesley on a page dedicated to Whitefield seems out of place. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.183.193.14 (talk) 04:09, 18 February 2007 (UTC).
