"Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God"

What keeps sinners from falling into Hell?

• their own good works

• prayer

• church-going

• only the hand of God

Without the hand of God, the sinner would have absolutely no power to keep himself out of hell.

• true

• false

According to Edwards, why may the sinner be aware that he is vulnerable to falling into hell?

• He doesn't believe in Hell.

• He is healthy and prosperous.

• He does so many good works that he feels heaven will be his reward.

An example of imagery that shows the precarious situation of the sinner is when Edwards says the sinner is:

• teetering on a thread

• hanging off the side of a cliff

• heavy as lead

• standing unsheltered in a hurricane

Examples of Edwards' metaphors include all the following except:

• an earthquake

• a whirlwind

• dammed waters

• a bow and arrow

Edwards says that the sinner reforming his life will lead to acceptance into heaven.

• true

• false

Edwards says that those now in Hell recognize their lives as:

• a turbulent ocean

• thin air and empty promises

• a fruitless orchard

• a suffocating grave

The two metaphors that prove God's hatred for the sinner are:

• insect and serpent

• rock and thorn

• rock and serpent

• disease and starvation

The metaphor that Edwards uses to make the sinner feel in suspense and terrified of his damnation is:

• finding the first mark of small pox on his skin

• rocking on a battered ship during a storm

• a spider hanging on a thread over the fire

• a traveler stumbling off a canyon wall

God will treat the sinner with compassion as the sinner is enduring his torment in Hell.

• True

• False
