What kind of imagery did Jonathan Edwards use in his sermons and to what effect?
@shifuyanli
A fire and brimstone preacher, Jonathan Edwards was a stalwart Puritan and much of his Calvinist background is apparent in the frightening imagery of his sermon, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God."
so it would be frightening
Edwards used imagery that depicted the glory of the Kingdom of God to increase conversions. Edwards used imagery that depicted the balanced universe to emphasize God’s absolute power. Edwards used imagery that depicted the fires of hell to arouse his congregation’s emotions. Edwards used imagery that depicted the fate in store for sinners to help lead people to salvation. these are the choices
