The early 19th century was a period of transition for Americans as the new nation was coming to terms with an expanding political system, a national identity, and the on-going westward movement. It was during this time of change that Charles Grandison Finney gave up his law practice to preach an emotional Christianity that resulted in acute frontier revivalism. Finney’s contribution to the Great Awakening of that early century came to affect not only collective spirituality, but the abolition movement and temperance reform.

The Early Life of Charles Finney

Finney was born in Connecticut in 1792 to a family that neither prayed nor attended church. Ironically, prayer would eventually become the very tool enabling Finney to confront his own doubts and later use extensively during his frontier ministry. He purchased his first Bible at the age of 29 while working as a lawyer.

After leaving Connecticut, Finney’s parents moved to Oneida County in New York. As a young teen, Finney enjoyed the vigorous outdoor work and became particularly fond of hunting, an activity that stayed with him throughout his life. He attended Hamilton College, founded originally as the Hamilton Oneida Institute by Samuel Kirkland who had dedicated his life as a missionary to the Native Americans.
