The Great Awakening was largely spurred by a reaction against the established religious institutions and a desire for personal, emotional connections to faith. Key beliefs included the emphasis on individual experience of salvation, the necessity of personal piety, and a rejection of formalism in worship. Preachers like Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield promoted the idea that anyone could achieve spiritual rebirth, fostering a sense of democratization in religion. This movement also encouraged greater questioning of authority and traditional practices.
