Who was identified as a deist in the notes?

• A. William Miller
• B. John Wesley
• C. George Whitefield
• D. Jonathan Edwards

Answer: (A)

Deism centers on the idea of a creator who established natural law and then largely refrains from intervening in the world, with an emphasis on reason and observation rather than miraculous revelation. In the notes used for this material, William Miller is identified as a deist, which is why he is the chosen answer. The other figures—John Wesley, George Whitefield, and Jonathan Edwards—are associated with revivalist Protestant movements that stressed personal conversion, active divine intervention, and the authority of Scripture, rather than a deistic, non-interventionist outlook. So, according to those notes, William Miller fits the label of a deist.
