is a sermon that was written and delivered by .  

The sermon was originally
preached in July of 1741. It is Jonathan Edwards's most famous piece. It is terrifying to read
because it has a visceral fire and brimstone message.  

Edwards delivered the
sermon in the middle of the period known as the Great Awakening. The sermon itself talks about
Hell as a very real place. It emphasizes that all people deserve the horrors of Hell, and that
God is the only reason people are not doomed to eternal suffering. The sermon's vividand
language awaken people to their sin. The goal is to steer people back toward a life of devotion
to Christ.
