Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God: Sermon by Jonathan Edwards
"Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" is a sermon by Jonathan Edwards, delivered on July 8, 1741, in Enfield, Connecticut. This sermon is one of the most famous in American history and a quintessential example of the fire-and-brimstone preaching of the Great Awakening, a religious revival that swept through the American colonies in the 1730s and 1740s.
Edwards' sermon is noted for its vivid imagery and powerful, emotive language designed to awaken his congregation to the perilous state of their souls. He depicts a wrathful God, holding sinners over the pit of hell, emphasizing the precariousness of human life and the imminence of divine judgment. The central theme is that only God's grace prevents sinners from falling into eternal damnation, and that individuals must repent and seek salvation earnestly.
The sermon employs stark metaphors and similes, such as comparing sinners to spiders held over a fire, to instill fear and a sense of urgency in the listeners. Edwards’ intention was to provoke a profound spiritual awakening, urging his audience to recognize their sins and embrace the mercy offered through Christ. The intense emotional response elicited by this sermon reportedly led to many conversions and had a lasting impact on American religious thought.
