Jonathan Edwards
|
Jonathan Edwards is remembered as one of America’s greatest Theologians. He was a powerful Protestant preacher who taught that sin was enmity with God, not just ignorance, and that Salvation was a change of heart by God, not merely living a moral life. His most famous sermon, “Sinners at the hand of an angry God”, declared man's baseness and vividly described the conditions of damnation.
Edward launched the first Great Awakening that many believed enabled various Christian denominations to come together and assist each other. He zealousness and conviction inspired revival among his church and many others. “My heart pants to lie low before God, as in the dust; that I might be nothing, and that God might be all, that I might become as a little child.”
