'''Gilbert Tennent''' (5 February 1703 – 23 July 1764) was a [[Presbyterian]] [[Revivalist (person)|revivalist]] [[Minister (Christianity)|minister]] in [[Colonial America]]. Born into a [[Scotch-Irish Americans|Scotch-Irish]] family in [[County Armagh]], [[Ireland]], he migrated to America with his parents, studied [[theology]], and along with [[Jonathan Edwards (theology)|Jonathan Edwards]] and [[George Whitefield]], became one of the leaders of the evangelical revival known as the [[First Great Awakening]]. His most famous sermon, ''On the Danger of an Unconverted Ministry'', also known as the "Nottingham Sermon," compared "Old Side" ministers to the biblical [[Pharisees]] of the [[Gospels]], triggering a schism in the Presbyterian Church which lasted for 17 years. A prolific writer, Tennent would later work towards reunification of the two synods involved.
