Torah, which spoke to being a moral person. After an angry mob surrounded his house following a particularly fiery Abolitionist sermon in 1861, his congregation encouraged him and his family to seek refuge in the north.

Jonathan Edwards was a religious pioneer in his time. He fought in the name of God and believed that he was serving God with all intents of living a righteous life. He spoke among a congregation and gave sermons regarding religious guidelines and the way of prosperity. His tone in his sermon is very sporadic and tend to flux throughout the speech, making it rather confusing to get a general idea of whether or not he is angry or coming from a place of compassion. The way he gets his point across,…

“The Almost Christian” – This is one of Wesley’s sermons from 1741 in which he illustrates what nominal or “almost” Christians look like as compared to the real, “altogether” Christians. Firstly, he identifies common traits of the “almost” Christians by saying that they have heathen honesty, sincerity, and that they are very much so focused on possessing the “form of godliness” or rather the outward appearance of a Christian. These people may approach the faith and perform the mechanics of it…

Throughout Jonathan Edwards sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" he incorporates imagery, analogy, and repetition to persuade the audience.

I listened to a sermon given by R.G. Lee called, “I Love Jesus Because.” He is a very enthusiastic preacher and he starts out by saying, “I love Jesus because I can pray in his name.” We need to be grateful to Christ and love him because we can pray in his name. When he prays in Jesus’ name, he rolls upon the mind of God, all the memories he has. He has forgiveness of sins through Jesus Christ. God has casts our sins into the depth of the sea. Not on the surface where men can look at them, but…

“Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” During the Great Awakening, Johnathan Edwards rose greatly in popularity due to his powerful and menacing sermons that shook audiences and provided new views on the Christian religion. His most famous sermon, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,” expresses his belief that God is spiteful and full of rage, and will condemn any sinners to an eternal torture in hell. He depicts God as solely torturous and wanting only to punish those who have done wrong,…

Edwards lived in the 18th century. He was a pastor and theologian known for his powerful sermons, the most famous being Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.
