Publisher's Synopsis
This is probably the most well-known sermon preached in the history of the United States. Even though this sermon was delivered over 250 years ago, Edwards's most memorable sermon is still needed today! Far more than a depiction of the punishments of hell, it is a call to personal salvation through Christ and spiritual revival in our time. Jonathan Edwards (October 5, 1703 - March 22, 1758) a Christian preacher, theologian, and missionary to Native Americans, was born in the colony of East Windsor, Connecticut. Although broad in scope, his theological work was well rooted in Reformed Puritan theology. Edwards played a significant role in shaping the First Great Awakening, and watched over some of the first revivals in 1733-35 at his church in Northampton, Massachusetts. Even though this sermon was delivered over 250 years ago, Edwards's most memorable sermon is still needed today! Far more than a depiction of the punishments of hell, it is a call to personal salvation through Christ and spiritual revival in our time.
