“There is no other reason to be given why you have not gone to hell, since you have sat here in the house of God, provoking his pure eyes by your sinful wicked manner of attending his solemn worship” - Jonathan Edwards. I will be comparing the literature works of Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God by Jonathan Edwards and To My Dear and Loving Husband by Anne Bradstreet. The early American authors were similar and different because of religious beliefs and writing style. Both authors are very…

by telling us why Peter Enns’s “The Evolution of Adam” is wrong. And Richard Gaffin tells us that Peter Enns is demonstrating many problems with wrong biblical exegesis and unacceptable theological implication such as origin of sin and nature of salvation. This is what Richard Gaffin said about Peter Enns “what may with very little exaggeration be characterized as the persistence of Liberalism”. Richard Gaffin is well concluded by fitting these words at the very last pages of his book “No Adam,…

Often in sermons, ministers persuade their audience to behave in a spiritual or moral fashion. Such as the cast in “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” where he preaches and tries to get sinners to give their lives to Christ. Edwards wanted to impact his audience by appealing to their fears, pity, and vanity. Edwards had a positive impact on his Puritan audience because of his use of fearful tone, heart-felted imagery and thoughtful figurative language. Edwards had a positive impact on his…

For my Confirmation name I chose ‘St. Thomas Becket’ for a couple of reasons. I chose him because he was a great saint and mostly because “Thomas” is my dad's name. Thomas was born in London, England on December 21, 1118, and died in 1170. He was always one of my favourite Saints along with St. Matthew. St. Thomas Becket was a famous author and publisher. He was also an Archbishop of Canterbury and one of the most famous saints in medieval Europe. St. Thomas made a lot of quotes that are…

24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Romans 3:24, considered by Jen Calvin to be one of the “more striking illustrations of the efficacy of God’s righteousness”, is such an influential verse in Paul’s case for justification by the grace of God. It is important to Paul’s case because it accurate lays out the process of justification. In order to understand its true meaning the word justified must be understood. When we examine this word we find…

The problem of evil has always existed, yet throughout history, the problem of evil has represented the most serious objection to the Christian faith. However, Jesus’ affliction and suffering that was implemented upon his body provided the Christians with assurance that weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning or that evil will never cause his authority to be compromise. In addition, Secular Humanism does exist, and as long as there is a human race, someone or something will…

Although Puritans and modern Americans both exhibit paranoia, they deal with their fears differently. Whether it is suicide bombers, disease breakouts, or simply going to Hell, both Puritans and Americans have reasons to be afraid. Jonathan Edwards preached to his congregation about the consequences of sinning and not pleasing God. Edwards ask the congregation to “consider the fearful danger you are in: it is a great furnace of wrath, a wide and bottomless pit, full of the fire of wrath, that…

When someone sins, they have to go through several consequences other than just the fact of living with what they have done. In the book The Scarlet Letter, written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, several characters sin and the consequences they have to suffer because of this are awful but deserving. You have to be able to accept your sin in order to get rid of some of the consequences such as shame and regret. Hester and Dimmesdale are two of the main characters who have sinned because they have…

There are many different platforms in history in which people created magnificent pieces of literature like, Walt Whitman’s O Captain! My Captain! or even the ever popular Rosie the Riveter “We Can Do It” poster, that have such a strong rhetorical impact. This impact also extends past the time they were popular but also into the current age because of the effective context that ethos, pathos and logos are used. Sinners In The Hands Of an Angry God by Jonathan Edwards is one of the most…

“Never forget that justice is what love looks like in public” ― Cornel West • God has been the subject of much scrutiny throughout history based on the point of his version of justice. Numerous people call God to be the source of true justice, while others say He is the antithesis of justice and a criminal Himself. God 's sense of justice has been debated for years,while both ethologist and biblical scholars alike, allow themselves to be consumed in this argument. While God has compassed quite…
