Sinners In The Hands of an Angry God

by Jonathan Edwards, Michael Rotolo (Editor), Charles Haddon Spurgeon (Introduction)

Overview

This is probably the single most famous sermon ever preached outside of the Bible. It was said that though he only read it from his notes, and that , in a monotone voice, still those hearing it wept in their seats. As an added bonus, in this special edition, this quintessential sermon on the dangers of damnation by a holy God, is paired with another famous address entitled "Turn or Burn" by the world renown "Prince of Preachers", Charles Haddon Spurgeon.

About the Author

Jonathan Edwards (October 5, 1703 – March 22, 1758) was a preacher, theologian, and missionary to Native Americans. Edwards is widely acknowledged to be America’s most important and original philosophical theo-
logian, and one of America’s greatest intellectuals. Edwards’s theological work is very broad in
scope, but he is often associated with his defense of Reformed Theology, the metaphysics of theological
determinism, and the Puritan heritage.
Recent studies have emphasized how thoroughly Edwards grounded his life’s work on conceptions of beauty, harmony, and ethical fittingness, and how central The Enlightenment was to his mindset. Edwards played a critical role in shaping the First Great Awakening, and oversaw some of the first fires of revival in 1733-1735 at his church in Northampton, Massachusetts. Edwards’s sermon Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, is considered a classic of early American literature, which he delivered during another wave of revival in 1741, following George Whitefield’s tour of the Thirteen Colonies. Edwards is widely known for his many books: The End For Which God Created the World; The Life of David Brainerd, which served to inspire thousands of missionaries throughout the nineteenth century; and Religious Affections, which many Reformed Evangelicals read even today. Edwards died from a smallpox inoculation shortly after beginning the presidency at the College of New Jersey (later to be named Princeton University), and was the grandfather of Aaron Burr.
