Description
Gilbert Tennent (1703-1764) was an Irish-American Presbyterian clergyman, and one of the leaders of the Great Awakening.
This manuscript contains Tennent's many thoughts on the spiritual life and the requirements of the ministry. He begins by citing Psalms 34:8, "O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him." He also cites Romans 8:5, "For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit."
From dates noted in the manuscript, it looks like Tennent worked on this manuscript from 1759 to 1761.
