Read the excerpt from "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God." Yea, God is a great deal more angry with great numbers that are no
w on earth; yea, doubtless with many that are now in this congregation, who it may be are at ease, than he is with many of those that are now in the flames of hell. What does this excerpt suggest about Edwards's opinion of society?
This excerpt shows that Edward viewed society as made up of sinners.
Explanation:
Theologian Jonathan Edwards claimed in this excerpt that God was angrier with the countless people on earth and in his congregation, who were comfortable in their sinful ways even more than he was with the sinners who were already paying for their sins in hell.
He believed that society was made up of sinful people. Even his congregation had a lot of people whose ways were not pleasing in the sight of God.
