The Wrath of Almighty God contains eleven discourses from Jonathan Edwards on one of Christianity’s most ominous doctrines—hell. Hardly a topic one can revel in, it is nonetheless an important part of God’s revelation that is significant for showing us the seriousness of sin and awaking us to our desperate need for mercy. It is the dark background that allows us to see more clearly the brilliant love of God in Christ. This volume includes one of Edwards’s most famous sermons, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,” which was used mightily during the Great Awakening—one of the greatest periods of revival in American history. Understanding the nature of hell helps us recognize the self-destructive design of sin and the all-surpassing value of life in Jesus Christ.
