The Great Awakening was influenced by Enlightenment ideas such as individualism, reason, and the pursuit of personal spiritual experiences. It emphasized a personal relationship with God and a focus on one's individual salvation, echoing Enlightenment principles of individual autonomy and critical thinking. The Enlightenment's emphasis on challenging traditional authority and institutions also played a role in inspiring the Great Awakening's emphasis on questioning established religious practices and promoting religious revival.
