In class we read "sinners in the hands of an angry god by Jonathan Edwards, one of the most important puritans’ ministers in history. The reading was about how god punished sinning people when they make him angry, for example it shows how he holds increasing water that increases as he gets angry but he holds it and he would let it loose and flood everyone if he can't take no more. Also it showed how every time you sinned gods bow would bent the arrow, and point the arrow folder to your hearth until he has gotten enough then, swish. I think this Avery scary sermon for the ones hearing at the time. I think John Edwards intended to scare the people (the puritans) on purpose. He tried to change them to live without sinning. Which is impossible, but could have probably worked because of the fear they had in them since they taught it was true. They would think that because they didn’t know nothing then it was prohibited for them to write anything else than the bible.
