was born in
the colony of Connecticut in the early 1700s. He was one of the preachers who had a large
influence on the Great Awakening, a time of spiritual revival in the 1700s. Edward's sermon
" " was characteristic of his style of preaching. This sermon centers on the sinful
nature of man and the wrath of God. In the sermon, Edwards writes, "All you that were never
born again, and made new creatures, and raised from being dead in sin, to a state of new, and
before altogether unexperienced light and life, are in the hands of an angry God." This is
his basic thesis. Simply put, all of mankind has only two choices: a person can be spiritually
reborn into a new creation by the mercy of God, or they can remain dead in their sin and
experience the eternal wrath of God. A man's wickedness makes him poised on the very brink of
hell, and only because of the sovereign pleasure of God are men not cast immediately into hell
for their sins....
