Explanation

Edwards’s sermon, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,” warns listeners about the danger of divine judgment and urges them to turn to God. Its vivid descriptions are meant to make people fear the consequences of disobedience, not simply reflect on church responsibilities or punish other sinners.
