8 jul 1741 año - "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" speech

Descripción:

A famous speech given by evangelical Jonathan Edwards in Enfield, CT. He conjured up frightful images of God, insisting that the Lord could at any moment cast anyone he wished into the depths of Hell. He claimed that 'the wicked' would suffer endlessly at the hands of Satan, and were already experiencing some of that Hell on Earth. The only way anyone could save themselves would be to openly accept Christ and recant all of their sins. This inspired many in the audience to immediately follow Edwards' advice and plead for forgiveness. The sermon was highly influential for converting people.
