Jonathan Edwards is regarded by many as the greatest mind America has ever produced and he is held up as an excellent example of a pastor-theologian. Even so, many people’s familiarity with Edwards does not extend beyond his famous sermon “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.”

On This Episode We’ll Discuss:

  • A biographical sketch of Edwards’ life and ministry

  • Edwards’ key role in the First Great Awakening
  • What Edwards was like as a pastor
