Question

religious leaders during the great awakening would have been most likely to advocate which of these topics in the 1730s and 1740s?
a an individuals emotional involvement in christianity, impassioned prayer, and a personal study of the holy bible
b an immediate end to the international slave trade and the gradual end to the domestic slave trade
c the importance of declaring independence from england due to their religious persecution of colonists
d an intellectual and reasoned approach to addressing the economic problems in the british american colonies

Explanation:

The First Great Awakening was a religious revival in the Thirteen Colonies of early - 18th - century British America. It emphasized personal religious experience, emotional connection to Christianity, and a more individual - centered approach to faith. This included things like impassioned prayer and personal study of the Bible.

• Option B: The Great Awakening was not primarily focused on ending the slave trade. The immediate end of the international slave trade and the gradual end of the domestic slave trade were more prominent in later abolitionist movements.
• Option C: Declaring independence from England due to religious persecution was not a key tenet of the Great Awakening. The Great Awakening was more about religious revival than political independence (though it had some long - term impacts on the sense of American identity).
• Option D: The Great Awakening was more about emotional and spiritual experience rather than an intellectual and reasoned approach to economic problems.

Answer:

A. an individual's emotional involvement in Christianity, impassioned prayer, and a personal study of the Holy Bible
