Edward D. Griffith: Revival, Conflict, and Perseverance

COMING SOON!

Though largely forgotten today, Edward Dorr Griffin (1770–1837) was a prominent American evangelical preacher in the early 1800s, influential in shaping the revival culture of New England. He had a brilliant intellect and was known as a powerful preacher and college president, but his story is not one of easy success but of a man who endured weakness, disappointment, controversy, and exhaustion in his devotion to God’s kingdom.
