Bradstreet Vs Edwards

Evangelicals in the hands of an angry pastor. Human beings feel the need to be consistently right. We exemplify for what we believe, and want everyone to think as we do. That desideratum drove Jonathan Edwards to write his most acclaimed sermon in American history, which I can only describe as the most devious and manipulative exhortation.

A very precise word choice keeps the reader’s imagination from being too broad while reading. Anne Bradstreet uses good word choice in “My Dear and Loving Husband” with the “Thy love is such I can no way repay.” (line 15, page 116). Her words mean that she can never thank her husband because he has loved he so much. Jonathan Edwards also uses a precise word choice in “Sinners in the Hands of Angry God”.

In chapter seven in the Outsiders Ponyboy talks to Randy about how the Socs and Greasers hate each other and in the end, Ponyboy made Randy feel better of himself. With all that Ponyboy experienced, he knows that everyone has some potential for being good and that Randy would have saved the kids in the church too. Randy mentions that the world hates him, but Ponyboy says that he hates the world and he needs to change that. In the talk with Randy Ponyboy says “So it doesn’t do any good, the fighting and the killing. It doesn’t prove anything.”

God Gives Us Free Will Jonathan Edwards preaches that if people follow God and obey him they will experience his great mercy. “Sinners in The Hands of an Angry God,” he explains this concept in his sermon. Most people back in 1741 and to this day would be persuaded by his sermon about the Lord because of how passionately and strongly he spoke about his beliefs’. In this sermon Edwards refers to Gods everlasting wrath. He describes Gods anger towards those who do not follow and believe in Him.

The Puritans were a strong unified religious community that centered their lives and their community on a specific set of beliefs. They believed that life was a test and those who passed this test would not only be successful, but also be delivered to holy blessedness all their lives and in the next. On the other hand, those who failed this test would face the consequences of a life damned by the devil. Notably in addition to that belief, they were God’s advocates and God’s law were their political laws. One specific facet of the Puritan belief system discussed in this paper is religious exclusiveness.

So I will thoroughly enjoy dedicating several articles to this topic. However, I am a Christian, so my intention is that I may “destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ.” There is an allure of self-pity, favouritism, envy, and bitterness, which seem so prevalent within the Black Lives Matter movement. To be clear, I am not insinuating that every single supporter of the organization is guilty of these sins. I am merely writing that these sins are rampant within the movement.

To revisit the conversations he had with the magistrate will provide insight to his atheistic values. He “... was asking me very earnestly if I believed in God. When I said “No”, he plumped down into his chair indignantly” (The Stranger, 43). The following simply affirms that he is indeed an atheist.

Juana is completely controlled by Kino. She has no power or authority to express or conceive any suggestions in any matter. For additional instance, when the priest arrived to congratulate Kino of his great fortune the women around and near the surrounding area bowed and cover their faces in his presence. Furthermore, these actions justify the fact that women in this book are subdued to the reign of men.

Edwards reminds people that mankind is nothing compared to God and that that all of humankind is guilty and deserves to be punished. This appears similar to Bradstreet’s poem, but there are some

Have ever felt relieved when you worship God in truth and in spirit? Do you feel like a heavy load just fell off your chest? Well, that’s why worship is very valuable to Christians. It is a medium where we give all our troubles to God. He takes it, makes it all good, and then tells us what to do when we meet with him in worship.

Puritans take their beliefs and values very seriously. These ideals are reflected in how they react in certain situations. They are also reflected in their sermons. Jonathan Edwards and Anne Bradstreet are two authors that reflect their Puritan beliefs. Puritans reflect their beliefs and values in their literature, but not all authors reflect them in the same way.

According to founding father Thomas Paine, “Reputation is what men and women think of us; character is what God and angels know of us” (“Reputation”). Whether individuals readily admit it or not, everyone cares about what others think or say about them to some extent. Though people are constantly told to not take to heart what others believe about them, they still do. In Arthur Miller’s drama, The Crucible, Salem’s society is collapsing and innocent characters are taking action because their reputation is at stake due to the false accusations of involving themselves in witchcraft. These characters live in such fear that if their pride is tarnished they will never recover from it.

“Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” is supposed to make readers feel like it is pointless to ever depend on anyone else. “Now they see, that those things on which they depended on for peace and safety, were nothing but thin air and empty shadows”. In this quote, he talks about how anytime anyone depends on someone, there is typically disappointment. “To My Dear and Loving Husband” describes love as something so important and dependable that Anne Bradstreet described it as gold. “I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold, or all the riches that the East doth hold.”

Throughout the whole story, many can be picked in the parable that has characteristics to a typical dark romanticism. The characteristics show on the Black Veil in the style that is unique to Gothic literature and other elements. The Black Veil is known as the secret sin of Mr. Hooper, many want to know what it is but Mr. Hooper keeps it to himself. This shows the characteristic known for his mysterious face that is covered by the black veil which translates on the mystery and suspense. This is a typical characteristic of the black veil being fearful and interesting to know about.
