nA sermon preached by Jonathan Edwards to his Enfield, Connecticut, congregation in July 1741, Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God is particularly noted for its vivid descriptions of the torments of Hell and mankinds natural depravity. At the same time, it was also an appeal to mans need for salvation and a reminder of the agonies that awaited the unreformed. Coming during the height of the Great Awakening -- a period of religious fervor in the first half of the eighteenth century -- the homily was at once regarded by many as the greatest ever given on American soil and vehemently attacked by others as puritanical fire and brimstone. One thing seems certain: it made a lasting impact on American Christianity. nAccompanying this landmark document are sermons by nine other influential Puritans of the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries, among them Thomas Shepards The Parable of the Ten Virgins, Cotton Mathers An Hortatory and Necessary Address, John Cottons The Way of Life, as well as sermons by John Winthrop, Increase Mather, Jonathan Mayhew, Thomas Hooker, Peter Bulkeley, and Samuel Willard. nEnlightening and thought-provoking, the volume will serve as primary source material in many American history and literature courses. nA sermon preached by Jonathan Edwards to his Enfield, Connecticut, congregation in July 1741, Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God is particularly noted for its vivid descriptions of the torments of Hell and mankinds natural depravity.
