The Life of Rowland Hill: The Second Whitefield

Rowland Hill was one of the most intriguing and astonishing characters of early evangelicalism. An independent preacher, he was admired by those who knew him but ridiculed and criticized by his opponents, especially at Cambridge. Touted as "the second Whitefield," Hill's preaching spread evangelical convictions in an age when rationalism, deism, and enlightenment philosophies were sweeping the nation. The Life of Rowland Hill transports the reader back to a dramatic age of conflict and upheaval. --from publisher description.
