Chapter 9, God in the Hands of Angry Sinners

This chapter title is a play on the famous Jonathan Edwards sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God". During the second Great Awakening of 1740's Mr. Edwards was Pastor at Northhampton, Ma. There were reports that when he preached this sermon men and women would fall out in a terror, some running from the church before he could finish. I encourage you to read it, if you have not. But here in this Chapter Sproul finds us in a different lot. God in the hands of Angry Sinners...interesting.
