A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Jonathan Edwards (1703 – 1758) was a preacher, theologian, and missionary to Native Americans. Edwards "is widely acknowledged to be America's most important and original philosophical theologian," and one of America's greatest intellectuals. Edwards's theological work is very broad in scope, but he is often associated with his defense of Reformed theology, the metaphysics of theological determinism, and the Puritan heritage. Recent studies have emphasized how thoroughly Edwards grounded his life's work on conceptions of beauty, harmony, and ethical fittingness, and how central The Enlightenment was to his mindset. Edwards played a very critical role in shaping the First Great Awakening, and oversaw some of the first fires of revival in 1733–1735 at his church in Northampton, Massachusetts. Edwards delivered the sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God", a classic of early American literature, during another wave of revival in 1741, following George Whitefield's tour of the Thirteen Colonies. Edwards is widely known for his many books: The End For Which God Created the World; The Life of David Brainerd, which served to inspire thousands of missionaries throughout the nineteenth century; and Religious Affections, which many Reformed Evangelicals read even today. Edwards died from a smallpox inoculation shortly after beginning the presidency at the College of New Jersey (later to be named Princeton University), and was the grandfather of Aaron Burr.

Note From The Editor Of Classic Domain Publishing:

This sermon is applicable to all Christians, Backsliders, and Non-Christians alike. It is so easy to apply any given sermon to others and not realize that all sermons are meant for everyone. If you have any sin in your life then it is advisable to read the following sermon from Jonathan Edwards as applicable to you – Yes to you. For as you know,

“The wages of sin is death [Hell].” - Romans 6:23

Don’t take your salvation for granted. And repent as soon as you see your sin.

“Work out your own salvation in fear and trembling.” Philippians 2:12

Don’t read this sermon merely for historical or literary purposes. Apply it to your own soul and life. Regardless of what others say – any unrepentant sin can drag you into hell. Don’t trust your soul to any man or his teaching. Trust your soul only to God and what He says. Duration in Hell is forever. This is why you absolutely must trust only God’s Word about where sin will lead you to.
