Edwards "is widely acknowledged to be America's most important and original philosophical theologian" (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy). In his famous sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," Jonathan Edwards is able to successfully use metaphors to describe to those in his congregation the consequences of not following the path of God and provides sufficient reason for sinners to repent that are still effective to…
the Hand of an Angry God” Analysis The message that I got from this sermon was that God is the only reason that we have not gone to Hell. I believe that Jonathan Edwards was trying to bring people back to a life of faith. It seems to me that he was a very devout believer that wanted others to join him in his belief.

“Don’t question authority!” they said. “Stop thinking everyone’s out to get you!” they said. “Sit down and shut up!” they said. Growing up in a society where statements like this are propagated has resulted in a shockingly docile population. In other words, there is a disgustingly large amount of people who just don’t care. When something is wrong, people do not say anything for fear of being judged or getting in trouble. When all the facts do not add up, people turn a blind eye. The list could…
