In 1733, a religious revival began in Northampton, Massachusetts and was followed in 1739-1740 by the Great Awakening. During this time, Jonathan Edwards, a Connecticut native—father of twelve, preacher, scholar, missionary, and President of Princeton University—preached his most famous sermon, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.”

Following in the tradition of recent NERGC conferences, Rev. Söderberg will begin the session with a short introduction to Jonathan Edwards and this very famous sermon, and then deliver the sermon in period costume.
