About

Description

The Wrath of Almighty God contains eleven discourses from Jonathan Edwards on one of Christianity’s most ominous doctrines—hell. Hardly a topic one can revel in, it is nonetheless an important part of God’s revelation that is significant for showing us the seriousness of sin and awaking us to our desperate need for mercy. It is the dark background that allows us to see more clearly the brilliant love of God in Christ. This volume includes one of Edwards’s most famous sermons, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,” which was used mightily during the Great Awakening—one of the greatest periods of revival in American history. Understanding the nature of hell helps us recognize the self-destructive design of sin and the all-surpassing value of life in Jesus Christ.

Endorsement

“Old-fashioned revival preaching was characterized by the idea of ‘hellfire and brimstone.’ This idea is especially connected with the Great Awakening in the eighteenth century and the ministry of Jonathan Edwards. No theologian or preacher is more associated with the concept of hell than Edwards. While Edwards certainly believed in the reality of hell, he had a passionate concern for the spiritual well-being of the people in his congregation. He preached on hell so his people would not have to experience it. It is a biblical concept, and almost everything that we learn about hell in the Bible comes to us, oddly enough, from the lips of Jesus Himself. It is because Jesus spoke so frequently about hell that the church takes the concept so seriously, or at least should do so.”
