About :
Jonathan Edwards, born in 1703 in East Windsor, Connecticut, was one of the most influential Puritan theologians and pastors of colonial America. From an early age, he showed an interest and talent for Christian and intellectual studies, and was raised by his father, a minister, and his mother, both devout Reformed believers. At the age of 13, Edwards entered Yale, where he studied philosophy and theology, establishing a solid foundation in Puritan theology. In 1727, he married Sarah Pierpont, a union that brought great spiritual and emotional support to his ministry. Edwards became a pastor in Northampton, Massachusetts, where he preached passionately on the need for repentance and salvation, seeking genuine conversion among his congregants. His most famous sermon, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,” was a powerful sermon that emphasized the reality of divine judgment and the urgency of repentance. This sermon became a landmark in the Great Awakening, a movement that rekindled the Reformed faith in New England and fostered profound conversion experiences. Edwards believed that revival was a direct work of the Holy Spirit and encouraged his listeners to seek a sincere and transformative experience of faith. In 1758, while serving as president of the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University), Edwards contracted smallpox and died at the age of 54. His legacy endures as one of the greatest theologians of American Christianity, revered for his defense of divine sovereignty and the centrality of the Reformed faith, which influenced subsequent generations and great thinkers.
