The First Great Awakening was a Protestan revival that emphasized emotional, experiential faith over book learning.

Explanation:

The First Great Awakening was a movement of Christian revitalization that spread through Protestant Europe and British America, and especially the North American colonies in the 1730s and 1740s, leaving a permanent impact on American religion. It was the result of powerful preaching that gave listeners a sense of personal revelation of their need for salvation through Jesus Christ. Departing from rituals and ceremonies, the Great Awakening comprised an intensely personal Christianity for the common person by fostering a deep sense of spiritual conviction and redemption, and by fostering introspection and commitment to a new norm of personal morality.
