"As the Great Awakening swept across Massachusetts, minister Jonathan Edwards delivered what would become one of the most famous sermons in American history on July 8, 1741: "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God."
The sermon vividly described the deity as envisioned by Puritan New Englanders: a wrathful, omnipotent force disgusted by his creation, holding them above the fires of damnation by a string."
