We talked about Jonathan Edwards' famous sermon, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" today in class. This sermon is the most famous sermon in American history and is read by many students in literature classes as an example of Puritan fire and brimstone preaching. The sermon is usually viewed negatively by modern readers for being too harsh and unloving in tone. However, harsh as it may be, the sermon is totally biblical and true. If you want to take a stab at reading the sermon you can find it here. Once you get used to the very formal English it is not hard to understand and it is very convicting. You can also listen to the sermon being preached by Mark Dever of Capitol Hill Baptist Church here. He also introduces the sermon with some historical information about it. Enjoooooy!
