(See attached file for a speech choir piece. )
The piece is entitled
“Sinners In The Hands Of An Angry God” by
Jonathan Edwards, the pastor of a Congregational
church in Northampton,
Massachusetts, delivered this sermon in Enfield,
Connecticut, on July 8, 1741. It
was immediately acclaimed, and is now regarded as
one of the most famous
sermons in American history. Edwards’ sermon
epitomizes the evangelical fervor
of the Great Awakening of the 1730s. During the
Great Awakening, rousing
sermons and a more participatory style of worship
revived what many considered
to be
flagging Puritan religious devotion.
