The Story of George Whitfield

In 1740, George Whitfield preached a sermon at Boston Commons that drew over 23,000 people. People claimed his words were so pure and holy that they angered the devil, which lured him out. In an instant, the Lord of Darkness crashed into George, who quickly caught hold of the monster,. What ensued was a battle for the ages. But it's a story that's been repeated for centuries. It's easy to hear stories like this and dismiss them wholesale as fantastical additions to an otherwise mundane day. Some folklore will always stick around, like footprints in time.
