| Summary: | The religious revival during the 1740s, in Britain and the American colonies, resulted in a vast output of printed matter.

In particular, the revival was responsible for launching a new literary genre—the evangelical newspaper and magazine. Where there had been no specifically evangelical periodical publication in the first forty years of the century, by the last forty years such literature had become a normal means of communication and propagation for several denominations. |
