Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) was a New England Congregationalist minister, theologian, revival interpreter, philosopher, and missionary. He became a central figure in the First Great Awakening and one of colonial America's most formidable intellectuals. His writings join Calvinist theology, psychology of religious experience, and austere literary power.

Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God is often remembered for its imagery of danger, wrath, and suspended judgment, but its structure is theological before it is theatrical.
