In this essay about John Edwards, I will show his styles of writing, and his attitudes towards God, himself, and his audience. This essay will also describe his tones throughout the sermon. John Edwards was a very abstract speaker, he was not afraid to offend and condemn his fellow Christians. In his sermon “Sinners in the hands of an Angry God” he demonstrates many forms of figurative speech. Such as referring to “There is nothing …showed first 75 words of 441 total…

…showed last 75 words of 441 total…bear the dreadful wrath of God, who is angry.” This sermon was a very stern sermon, which was meant for everyone, John Edwards used many different types of writing languages to describe his message. His tone was very critical and harsh, His meaning for the sermon was to convince everyone to hurry, repent and turn towards God, “Haste and escape for your lives, look not behind you, escape to the mountains, lest you be consumed.”
