Asahel Nettleton

1783–1844 · Congregationalist · Connecticut, United States

Asahel Nettleton was a Congregationalist evangelist who worked chiefly in the parishes of Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York during the Second Great Awakening. He preached without notes and left few manuscripts; the sermons printed after his death were gathered from what survived among his papers. He opposed the “new measures” of Charles Finney's revivalism, a disagreement he pressed publicly with Lyman Beecher in 1827.
