The Christian Classic by Jonathan Edwards
Sinners In The Hands Of An Angry God
The Christian Classic by Jonathan Edwards
A sermon that still awakens the soul.
First preached in 1741 during the Great Awakening, Jonathan Edwards’ Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God remains one of the most urgent and unforgettable sermons in Christian history. With vivid imagery and piercing seriousness, Edwards confronts the sinner with the holiness of God, the reality of judgement, and the dreadful danger of remaining outside of Christ.
Yet this is not merely a sermon of warning. It is a call to flee to the only refuge God has provided: Jesus Christ. Edwards presses eternal realities upon the conscience so that careless hearts might awaken, proud hearts might be humbled, and sinners might seek mercy while the door of grace remains open.
This modern study edition has been carefully updated for clarity while preserving the force, theology, and urgency of Edwards’ original message. It also includes sermon summaries, reflection questions, and bonus sermons by Jonathan Edwards, giving readers a broader introduction to his searching preaching on spiritual pride, false security, self-deception, judgement, humility, and true conversion.
A solemn, powerful, and necessary book for personal reading, discipleship, small groups, and serious reflection on the state of the soul before God.
