“Sinners In the Hands of an Angry God” (pdf) is one of the most famous sermons in American history. Jonathan Edwards was born in East Windsor, CT in 1703. Considered one of the greatest of American theologians of his day, he was at the forefront of what is known as “The Great Awakening”. A time of moral and spiritual reform in the mid to late 1700s.
In 1734 Edwards’s preaching on justification by faith sparked a spiritual revival in his parish. In December there were six sudden conversions. By spring there were about thirty conversions a week.
It was not due to theatrics. One observer wrote, “He scarcely gestured or even moved, and he made no attempt by the elegance of his style or the beauty of his pictures to gratify the taste and fascinate the imagination.” Instead, he convinced “with the overwhelming weight of argument and with such intenseness of feeling.”
During the Great Awakening, Edwards delivered one of the most famous sermons in American history, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.” Unfortunately, it has since cast Edwards as an emotional and judgmental revivalist, when in fact he preached it as dispassionately as any of his sermons.
