Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God

Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God is a sermon written by American Christian theologian Jonathan Edwards, preached to his own congregation in Northampton to unknown effect and again on July 8, 1741 in Enfield, Connecticut.Like Edwards' other works, it combines vivid imagery of Hell with observations of the world and citations of 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 Great Awakening of c. 1730–1755.
