English

Jonathan Edwards (October 5, 1703 – March 22, 1758) was one of the most important theologians in American history and a leading figure in the Great Awakening. Born in East Windsor, Connecticut, into a devout Puritan family, he displayed exceptional intelligence and a keen interest in theology from a young age.
Edwards's thought was deeply influenced by Puritan tradition, yet he transcended traditional Puritan theology, making unique contributions to theological thought. He emphasized God's sovereignty, the total depravity of humanity, and advocated for an emotive theology. He believed that salvation could only be achieved through the work of the Holy Spirit. His writings, such as "A Faithful Narrative of the Surprising Work of God", "Concerning the Justice of God", "Thoughts on the Nature of True Virtue and Religious Affections", and "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God", profoundly influenced religious thought in America and Europe.
Edwards' sermons were renowned for their passionate, straightforward, and moving style. His sermons often evoked a sense of guilt in people, inspiring a yearning for faith and the salvation of their souls. His "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" is one of the most famous sermons in American literary history, having a profound impact on the Great Awakening.
It is noteworthy that Edwards was not only a theologian and preacher; he was also a thoughtful educator, a prolific writer, and a scientist with a deep interest in natural science. He observed and recorded many natural phenomena and attempted to find harmony and unity between science and theology. His versatility and thirst for knowledge gave him a unique position in American history and culture.
In short, Jonathan Edwards was an extremely influential figure in early American history. His theological thought and sermons greatly shaped the religious and cultural landscape of America, and his name will forever be inscribed on the historical monument.
