Description: “The holiness of God in His hatred and detestation of the filthiness of sin, His majesty and authority, are sufficiently vindicated in the sufferings of Christ.” — Jonathan Edwards

  Jonathan Edwards is famous for sermons like “Sinners in the Hands of Angry God,” which vividly portray the reality of hell. But Edwards was no mere “hellfire and brimstone” preacher, he spoke of divine judgment because of his desire to see many come to Christ and be spared God’s wrath.

 

This volume contains fourteen of Edwards’ sermons on hell, thirteen of which have never been published before. May they remind you of the vast holiness of our Lord and the mercy He offers in Jesus alone. Titles include “Vengeance for Sin Properly Belongs to God,” “God Has Sworn That He Will Be Revenged on Wicked Men,” “Wicked Men Answer the End of Their Beings in No Other Way But in Their Suffering,” ”All Wicked Men Shall Go To Hell,” and “The Torments of Hell Will Be Eternal.”
