This dissertation will analyze the life and ministry of the evangelical pastor, John Berridge of Everton (1716-1973) who stood as the central figure in the Cambridgeshire Revival (1759), the Calvinist Controversy (1773), and whose life intersected with most of the key figures in the English Evangelical Revival. The purpose of this study is to reintroduce the figure of John Berridge to a contemporary readership. Second it will argue that it is John Berridge's appropriation of the post-Reformational experiential tradition with its re-discovery of justification by faith that is foundational to his conversion, surrounds his experience in the Cambridgeshire Revival, and sustains his ministry in Everton. Finally using Berridge's life and ministry as an example, this study will reflect on the key issues facing pastors in the current cultural milieu: the need to re-cover the doctrine of justification by faith in pastoral preaching and ministry, understanding the context and natiue of the revival, the challenge of pastoring in and through revival, the prerequisite of a sustained ministry, and finishing well.
