This video "Sinners in the hands of an angry God' is about a passionate sermon given by Jonathan Edwards. This sermon appears in almost every Anthology in American Literature. Known as the most famous sermon ever preached in America. Edward scares every one by the metaphors he uses about God's anger. This is also known as the sermon that New England never forgave him for. He made his people aware of the risks if they sinned. Edwards told everyone to avoid hell at all costs.
The people are so afraid of God because of Jonathan Edwards sermon. He truly believed that if someone sinned, they would go to hell. He probably described hell so vividly that every one was terrified of it. The New England people probably thought that they would be punished for doing something wrong or even not enough good. If someone believes in something strong enough, it's easier for them to convince people to believe also. What probably scared people so much was all of the details he provided. The people from New England were in shock by how he described hell. He made them think that if they did one thing wrong, hell was in their future. Edwards must have lectured about Gods wrath quite a bit for these people to be scared as much as they were.
