Jonathan+Edwards

Jonathan Edwards, Sr. (October 5, 1703, East Windsor, Connecticut – March 22, 1758, Princeton, New Jersey) – He was a Congregationalist revivalist preacher and Calvinistic theologian. During his devotions one day in 1716 while a student at Yale, I Timothy 1:17 convicted him, resulting in his conversion. After graduation in 1720, he tutored there, 1724-26. Edwards was ordained as a Congregationalist, served (1727-29) as an associated and then pastured in Northampton, MA (1729-50), where a revival (1734-37) sparked the Great Awakening, 1735. He gave his most famous sermon //“Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”// on July 8, 1741, in Enfield, CT. He was later dismissed from the Northampton church because of his convictions for a converted membership to take communion, opposing the Half-Way Covenant. Edwards then pastured (missionary) at a Native American Mission (Mohawk Indians) in Stockbridge, MA from 1750-57, followed by a brief five-week third presidency at Princeton College (University 1898) preceding his death. Edwards influenced many spiritual leaders, including Brainerd, Whitefield, and Thomas Chalmers. || [] The Crown College, The Christian Heritage Center, Powell, TN
