Narrated by: Max McLean

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.

True today! Goes straight to the heart.

Well spoken and should be preached in churches today. Shout from the rooftops! Amen and amen!

The only thing I can say is GREAT

I don't know how many times I have listened to this but every time I get goose bumps! As relevant today as it was when first preached! I think you will want to listen to this over and over and share it also. GOD's blessing is on this and those that listen.

Unvarnished truth from a brilliant man!

There is a reason this sermon has endured over centuries - it’s true! Max McLean does a masterful performance of the sermon that makes one feel like they are sitting there that morning in the congregation. Excellent work!

What is MISSING from our churches today!

Without feeling judged and completely feeling thought of enough to be told these truths!
Get FREE and CLEAR from hell today!
