p. 153- This is a sermon given by Jonathan Edwards in Connecticut n 1741. In it, he warns his congregation that being church members would not automatically save them from hell. Remember that Puritans beliefs of sinful nature and personal salvation would make this sermon powerful.
This is an example of persuasive writing.
1. What does Edwards want his audience to do and why does he want them to do it?
2. Make a list and cite examples of images that Edwards uses to achieve the greatest emotions.
3.What frightening powers does Edwards attribute to God?
4. Describe the most vivid image in the sermon and how it made you feel.
