Description:
The religious wake created by the First Great Awakening in North America started in a church in Northampton, Massachusetts. The words spoken from the pulpit of this church changed American religion forever. The words were those of Jonathan Edwards, and they continue to echo in the Christian heritage preached and practiced in churches throughout the world today.
Famed Puritan preacher Jonathan Edwards is forever known for his sermon “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,” though that is only one of hundreds of sermons of great merit. Michael McMullen has compiled a second collection featuring twenty more sermons preached by Edwards that have never before appeared in print. They are taken from a collection of Edwards papers held at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library of Yale University and have been transcribed as a labor of love to commemorate the 300th anniversary of Edward's birth.
