Jonathan Edwards presents a clear picture of the predicament of every sinner and lukewarm Christian. The most famous sermon ever given.

O the horror, the horror! this should actually be called 'how to instill fear into the innocent many.' or 'learn the power of God's anger' or 'join this congregation or go to hell'. Jonathan Edwards is the ultimate example of a preacher who through language can take a concept and control people with it. this concept of course is God's everlasting wrath "you will know for sure that you must wear out many long ages, millions and millions of ages, in struggling and fighting against this merciless vengeance." (p. 24) Mercy, Mercy sweet lord above'ah! it's such a powerful sermon that Edwards is sure people will remember it while they burn in the fiery furnaces of hell.

I often complain about the time i'm in, but holy fuck i'm glad I wasn't alive in 1741. Funny enough, this sermon was brought swiftly upon the damned on my birthday. ( )

i dont read much of classic authors anymore, especially jonathan edwards. if you are fan though, this book provides a good collection of some of his sermons and writings. not recommeded.

Great collection of sermons by Jonathan Edwards. Sinners in the hands of an Angry God is a given for a collection of sermons. Other great sermons by Edwards in the book include, Christians- A choosen gereration, a peculiar people a royal priesthood. The two sermons of Justification by Faith is another great addition to the book. Mark Trigsted also gives a biography of Edwards which is excellent. ( )
