Presentation transcript:

“Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” Thinking Critically Exercise Question #4 Mel-Con Paragraph Writing Strategy M: Edwards’s sermons persuaded people to change their lives for a number of reasons. E: For example, Edwards convinced many of God’s power by stating God could “cast his enemies down to hell” which was a “pit prepared” with God holding sinners over it “much as one holds a spider”. L: These horrifying images created a sense of fear and powerlessness in his audience. Con: With Christ as their only salvation, many in his audience altered their way of living.

“Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” Thinking Critically Exercise Question #5 Mel-Con Paragraph Writing Strategy M: The people who belonged to Edwards’s congregation believed that human beings are inherently evil and can only escape hell through God’s grace, not by anything they can do themselves. E: One can see this clearly when Edwards offers God’s grace only through a “door of mercy wide open” and by “rejoicing in hope of the glory of God”. L: Hope for mercy from God, not actions, are the only chance for salvation. Con: With the belief that they were evil beings only spared by God, Edwards’s audience was left feeling powerless.

“Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” Thinking Critically Exercise Questions #6 Mel-Con Paragraph Writing Strategy M: In this sermon, human beings are presented as powerless to control their own lives; God is presented as powerful and threatening. E: With rhetoric such as “the God that holds you over the pit of hell, much as one holds a spider” this becomes clear. L: By using this simile and imagery to explain the relationship between God and man, Edwards’s sermon paints a grim picture of existence for mankind. Con: Overall, Edwards’s sermon offers hope for sinners from the perils of hell only because of God’s grace.
