“Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”
1. Notice that Edwards lived and preached at the beginning of the Enlightenment. Consider this statement: “But the foolish children of men do miserably delude themselves in their own schemes, and in their confidence in their own strength and wisdom; they trust to nothing but a shadow.” Summarize his main points in the first five pages of this sermon. What is his basic message to those who place trust in themselves? (Remember that summary is comprehensive, but brief. Try to condense what Edwards has said into four or five solid sentences.)
2. Pages 197- 199 contain several famous figures of speech (simile, metaphor, etc.) that all relate to the wrath of God. Identify and explain at least three of these figures of speech. (If you are using the online link to the sermon, these can be found under “Application.”)
3. List the four points Edward’s makes about God’s wrath on pages 199-202. Notice the word choice in those pages: “horrible,” “merciless vengeance,” “great wrath,” “infinite misery,” “lamentable and bitter cry,” “torment,” “lamentable and dolorous cries and shrieks,” etc. Edwards is painting a very vivid picture for this congregation.
4. What is the “extraordinary opportunity” (p. 203) available to Edward’s listeners? How can they escape the wrath that he has described so well?
5. Explain the allusion to Sodom at the end of the selection. Who looked behind her as she fled from Sodom? What happened to her? What point is Edwards trying to make with this allusion?
