On July 8, 1741 in Enfield, Connecticut, Jonathan Edwards preached what become the most famous sermon in American history and keyed the the revivals of the First Great Awakening (1741-1760). This episode of 2Days Denarius looks back at this event, along with this history behind it, what was so impacting about the imagery Edwards employed in the sermon, and gives a glance at Edwards's times, life, and ministry. It also includes discussion of the the only account of the revival from a journal that was recorded the night of the event. In all, it is one of the most remarkable, yet terrifying, sermons one can ever read. Jonathan Edwards preached the full counsel of God with commitment and vigor. Here in the message on the doctrine of eternal punishment, he held nothing back, as you'll discover when you listen. So, take a trip back in time to an era where notable movements of God took place in amazing ways and let's pray for similar revival events to occur in our time!
