More broadly, it was also part of his growing reputation as a polemic itinerant and of the competition for moral authority between orthodox Anglicanism and revivalists.¹ Given his past criticisms of slavery and of the excesses of slaveholding society, Whitefield became a symbol of the hypocrisies that his opponents saw in revivalism, and Whitefield particularly.
