Produktbeschreibung
In "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God and Other Sermons," Jonathan Edwards masterfully weaves biblical doctrine with the dramatic flair of early American Puritanism. This collection exemplifies the fire-and-brimstone rhetoric characteristic of the First Great Awakening, aiming to instill a profound sense of existential urgency among its listeners. Edwards's vivid imagery, particularly his portrayal of divine wrath and human sin, serves to evoke not only fear but also a yearning for salvation, situated in the broader discourse of 18th-century religious fervor. His pastoral voice resonates with urgency and conviction, challenging the complacency of his contemporaries through eloquent yet terrifying proclamations of faith. Jonathan Edwards, a prominent preacher, theologian, and philosopher, was at the forefront of the First Great Awakening, a revivalist movement that sought to reawaken religious zeal throughout colonial America. Born in 1703 and educated at Yale, Edwards's Puritan heritage deeply influenced his theological outlook, instilling within him a profound reverence for God's sovereignty. His sermons, including this pivotal collection, reflect both the intellectual rigor and passionate spirituality that defined his legacy, addressing the moral fragility of society amidst a burgeoning Enlightenment context. "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God and Other Sermons" is not merely a historical artifact; it remains an essential meditation on the duality of divine love and wrath. Readers seeking to understand the psychological and spiritual complexities of early American thought will find Edwards's work both enlightening and compelling. His poignant reflections invite a reconsideration of faith, morality, and the human condition, making this collection a must-read for anyone interested in the intersections of theology, history, and literature.

Autorenporträt
Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) was an American revivalist preacher, philosopher, and Congregationalist Protestant theologian. Edwards is widely regarded as one of America's most important and original philosophical theologians, and is well known for his fiery sermon 'Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,' a classic of early American literature. Edwards played a critical role in shaping the First Great Awakening, and he oversaw some of the first revivals in 1733-35 at his church in Northampton, Massachusetts. His sermons combined a profound scholarly rigor with striking metaphors and deep spiritual insight, aiming to appeal not only to the intellects but also the hearts of his congregation. In addition to 'Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,' Edwards' sermonic literature includes several works that display his theological depth and understanding of human nature, such as 'A Divine and Supernatural Light' and 'The Justice of God in the Damnation of Sinners.' His philosophical writings, such as 'Freedom of the Will' and 'The Nature of True Virtue,' exhibit a complex understanding of morality and free will, advancing the colonial intellectual landscape. Edwards's work remains a staple in theological studies and continues to be analyzed for its impact on American religious and philosophical thought.
