An example of colonial literature written as part of the Great Awakening is "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" by Jonathan Edwards. This sermon, delivered in 1741 during the peak of the Great Awakening, emphasized the concept of God's wrath and the need for repentance, aiming to awaken listeners to the fragility of human life and the consequences of sin. Edwards' writing style, characterized by vivid imagery and intense emotional appeal, made a significant impact on the religious landscape of the time.
