Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) is American's greatest theologian and philosopher. One of the key figures in the Great Awakening,' he entered Yale at twelve and was Head Tutor at twenty-one. Edwards pastored congregations for over 30 years and earned a reputation as a consummate rhetorician and master preacher. Shortly after becoming President of Princeton University he died of complications from a smallpox inoculation. He is buried in Princeton cemetery.Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God was preached on July 8, 1741 in Enfield, Connecticut. It is considered the most famous sermon ever preached in American history. The vivid imagery Edwards employed made some tremble and cry out for mercy. Others fainted. Five hundred people were converted that day.
After the conversion of St. Paul on the road to Damascus, the dramatic conversion of St. Augustine as he himself tells it in hisConfessions is the most significant conversion story in Christian history.Augustine's experience speaks to his dilemma that many people have understood when counting the cost of converting to Christ. He had come to intellectual certainty about the truth of Christianity but he could not embrace it in faith. The way of the savior attracted me greatly, he wrote, but I was reluctant to pass through the straight and narrow gateI was weak and chose the easier way, and for this single reason my whole life was one of inner turbulence and listless indecision. I had found the pearl of great price; but I hesitated to sell all that I had to buy it.After a monumental struggle not unlike Jacob wrestling with the Angel Augustine hears the voice of a child chanting over and over again take up and readI snatched up the apostle's book, opened it and read the paragraph on which my eyes first fellAt that moment there was infused in my heart the light of full certainty and all the gloom of doubt vanished away.
