	Gilbert Tennent Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		Gilbert Tennent (1703-1764), American Presbyterian clergyman and evangelist, participated in the revival movement, the Great Awakening, in the Middle colonies and New England.
		Gilbert Tennent, eldest son of William Tennent, was born on Feb. 5, 1703, in County Armagh, Ireland.
		Tennent's response to this action was his Nottingham sermon of 1739: "The Danger of an Unconverted Ministry." This was a violent denunciation of ministers who had criticized the extreme emotionalism of the revival.

		Tennent was earnestly desirous of a reunion, he found his greatest difficulty with these people, and wrote his Irenicum principally to answer their objections and allay their feelings.
		Tennent, as to the nature and extent of the opposition of his brethren to the revival, will, doubtless, be regarded by many as of more weight than their own declarations.
		Tennent appeals to this "detestable performance," and to "the false and dangerous Moravian doctrine" which it contained, in proof that the author and those who agreed with him, not only opposed the work of God, but were themselves graceless.

	Tennent Family
		Tennent, Sr., his father, was born and educated in Ireland, and ordained a priest 1706 in the Episcopal church of that country.
		Tennent "The Rev. Charles McKnight, then pastor of the church of Shrewsbury preached the sermon at his funeral at the Parsonage and not at the church." His body was buried beneath the floor near the center of the present church building on White Hill where it still rests.
		Tennent travelled to Connecticut in 1741 because the conservative Philadelphia synod thwarted the spread of the Awakening in New Jersey.[18] The itinerants stimulated emotional outpourings which ultimately led to an unprecedented number of conversions and a dramatic rise in church membership.

	The Journal of Presbyterian History - Is Christ Divided?
		Although said to be proficient in the classical languages as well as well read in divinity, William Tennent, his sons, and his students were known for their experimental piety; that is, they had removed erudition from the center of their vocation and replaced it with the personal experience of grace.
		While the Tennents and their disciples granted the importance of learning and an orthodox comprehension of doctrine, they believed that the essential requirement for ordination was an experiential knowledge of the love and mercy of God.
		On the other side, Gilbert Tennent, in response to the rise of uncontrollable enthusiasm, was beginning to move toward the persuasive, moderate voice of Jonathan Dickinson.

		Gilbert Tennent, perhaps the most influential of these men in the middle colonies during the Great Awakening was heavily influenced by both Frelinghuysen and his father, and had great affect on many in New Brunswick, New Jersey where he preached as well.
		Tennent’s father, sharing many of the same beliefs as Frelinghuysen but without direct influence, had taught him at their home in Pennsylvania at his makeshift “Log College.” Tennent’s two brothers studied at the same school which by that time, though not an official school of the presbytery, was recognized as legitimate.
		Tennent’s father believed strongly that in order to be a Christian, one must have a strong precise conversion experience, and that there were many in the church that had not.

		In 1734, Gilbert Tennent overtured the Synod to examine candidates, and even current ministers for "the evidences of the grace of God," in which he brought together the three strands of Scottish, New England and Continental influence.
		A. Gilbert Tennent: The Danger of an Unconverted Ministry Gilbert Tennent's famous sermon of March 8, 1740 is the classic example of the revivalist emphasis on conversion, charismatic preaching, and the denunciation of unconverted ministers.
		Tennent's reversal might be seen essentially as a return to traditional Scottish and New England piety from the exaggerated Pietism of Frelinghuysen.
