Question

What was emotional response in the 1720s and 1740s to the highly intellectualized religious practices that took place in many congregations

Answer 1

Answer:

Great Awakening united evangelicals across various denominations around shared beliefs. However, it also led to division in existing churches between those who supported the revivals and those who did not. Additionally, it increased the number of African slaves and free blacks who were exposed to and subsequently converted to Christianity and also inspired the founding of new missionary societies, such as the Baptist Missionary Society in 1792.

Explanation:

Great Awakening in the US or the Evangelical Revival in the UK   was a series of Christian revivals that swept Britain and its thirteen North American colonies between 1730 and 1749. The revival movement permanently affected Protestantism as adherents strove to renew individual piety and religious devotion.
