Liberty University HIUS 221 Reading Comprehension Assessment 1
Correct Answer
Read the following passage, then answer the questions below
When this work first appeared and was so extraordinarily carried on amongst us
in the winter, others round about us seemed not to know what to make of it.
Many scoffed at and ridiculed it; and some compared what we called conversion,
to certain distempers. But it was very observable of many,
who occasionally came amongst us from abroad with disregardful hearts, that
what they saw here cured them of such a temper of mind. Strangers were
generally surprised to find things so much beyond what they had heard, and were
wont to tell others that the state of the town could not be conceived of by those
who had not seen it. The notice that was taken of it by the people who came to
town on occasion of the court that sat here in the beginning of March, was very
observable. And those who came from the neighborhood to our public lectures
were for the most part remarkably affected. Many who came to town, on one
occasion or other, had their consciences smitten, and awakened; and went home
with wounded hearts, and with those impressions that never wore off till they
had hopefully a saving issue; and those who before had serious thoughts, had
their awakenings and convictions greatly increased. There were many instances
of persons who came from abroad on visits, or on business, who had not been
long here, before, to all appearances, they were savingly wrought upon, and
partook of that shower of divine blessing which God rained down here, and went
home rejoicing; till at length the same work began evidently to appear and
prevail in several other towns in the county. _Jonathan Edwards “ A Faithful Narrative
of the Surprising Work of God
Selected Answer: I have read the above passage
When did the revivals under Edwards begin?
Those who experienced the revivals
Edwards hoped that those who were convicted by what they heard
The initial reaction of outsiders to the revivals was
What did Edwards say brought people to the town in the month of March?
