Croswell was a Boston Minister and proponent of Whitefield and the Great Awakening in New England. He "was more persistent and visible, provoked more controversies, itinerated longer, and published more tracts than any other incendiary New Light. In his writings one finds the fullest articulation of the theology and spirituality of the radical Awakening." Schmidt, A Second and Glorious Reformation: The New Light Extremism of Andrew Croswell, in William & Mary Quarterly, April 1986.
Reverend Cumming considered Croswell's views "Blasphemy."
