Hands Of An Angry God Sinners In The Hands

If one were to study the idea of Puritan thought
through only the reading of these three works of
Jonathan Edwards, one could probably gather a good
idea of the inner workings of the Puritan mind.
These three works do well to disclose to the
reader the inner and outer workings of Jonathan
Edwards. The Personal Narrative displays to the
reader Jonathan Edwards view of himself as he
progressed through life, and the ideals and the
things that were most valuable to him, and the
things that were a hi...

submission. He sears his point onto their brains

humbly with your God? ? To do justly is to have
God 314; s attitude and to see all people as He

requirements. Prejudice is a destroyer of truth.

Scarlet Letter Hawthorne Shows
437 words
A critic, Edward Wagenknecht explains that the
scarlet letter upon Hester's breast in Nathaniel
Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter had not done its
office. This means that the actions of the
magistrates punishing Hester for her sin is like
usurping Gods power, and the scarlet letter keeps
Hester from living a miserable, guilty life such
as the one led by Dimmesdale. Hester openly shows
her scarlet letter and the sin she commits and as
a result, this saves her from much grief and
misery. Dimmesdale o...

Proctor And Abigail Sin Of Adultery
1,595 words
Comparing The Scarlet Letter to The Crucible
Adultery, betrayal, promiscuity, subterfuge, and
intrigue, all of which would make an excellent
coming attraction on the Hollywood scene and
probably a pretty good book. Add narration,
mass-hysteria and witch trials and the end result
would be The Crucible, but if you added Puritan
ideals and writing styles, making it long, drawn
out, tedious, wearisome, sleep inducing, insipidly
asinine, and the end result is The Scarlet Letter.
They are both conside...
