5. Explain and discuss The Great Awakening, and its effect in uniting the colonies.
The Great Awakening was led by both Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield, teaching an interesting sermon titled, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”. While I do not 100% agree with some of the things that he said, for instance, just looking at the title: Psalm 103:8, “The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in love,” this does not match up with the title “Angry God” does it? The Bible also states that we are all sinners, Romans 3:23, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”; does this mean we’re all going to be thrown into hell? I sure hope not. Furthermore, I do not believe it is for Edwards and Whitefield to say who goes to hell, this is judging, and is considered, by the bible to be a sin. However I still believe that The Great Awakening was very helpful in bringing the colonies together, and that, while it had its errors, the sermon they preached and the things they did, are, at the very least, very respectable.
