The Power of a Single Sermon

On July 8, 1741, Jonathan Edwards preached his now-famous sermon, Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, preached to his own congregation in Northampton, Massachusetts. The preaching of this sermon was the catalyst for the First Great Awakening. Like Edwards' other works, it combines vivid imagery of Hell with observations of the world and citations of Biblical scripture. It is Edwards' most famous written work, is a fitting representation of his preaching style, and is widely studied by Christians and historians, providing a glimpse into the theology of the First Great Awakening of c.?1730–1755.
