When this sermon was preached, the average listener had a considerably greater attention span than his modern counterpart. The reader may therefore be daunted by the length of the sermon. I had considered abridging it, but finally decided not to.
Some readers will also complain that it gets off to a slow start. This is standard for an extended speech in any context. An experienced speaker intending to speak at length will give his audience a minute...

In detailing not only the nature of God, but also of creation, humans, and individual will, Edwards shows that God's purpose of bringing Himself glory works also, ultimately, for the fulfillment of all creation's joy. A spiritual...

A sermon preached by Jonathan Edwards to his Enfield, Connecticut, congregation in July 1741, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" is particularly noted for its vivid descriptions of the torments of Hell and mankind's natural depravity.

THE sublimest subject of contemplation for the mind of man is, unquestionably, the Being who made him. But the character of God is an immense field. He who attempts to traverse one side of it, leaves others unseen. Nay, it is infinite, - it is boundless. Man can never have exhausted it. That part of it, however, which comes within the range of his vision, has varied aspects. To no one of them can he turn and say, "This is all." They mistake, therefore,...
