Counted among the friends of John Newton, George Whitefield, John Wesley, Lady Huntingdon and Henry Venn, John Berridge of Everton opens a window into the whole of the Evangelical Awakening in eighteenth-century England. This fascinating biography of the "forgotten" preacher of Bedfordshire paints John Berridge as the unconventional pedlar of the gospel whose open-air preaching and directness of speech earned him the reputation of being "quaint" and "eccentric". Through extensive and thorough research, Nigel Pibworth has put John Berridge back into his rightful place in church history - as a major participant in the great revival of the eighteens century.
