BIO:Jonathan Edwards 1703-1758 American theologican and philosopher.

   Jonathan Edwards was born in Connecticut. At the age of 13, after
having mastered Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, he entered Yale, and was
graduated at the age of 17. Soon after his graduation, he was converted
to Jesus Christ. He served pastorates in Massachusetts during the Great
Awakening, a tremendous revival which began through the influence and
preaching of George Whitefield, William Tennant, and others. This
revival ran from 1734 to 1744, with mass conversions adding 50,000
converts to the churches of New England. Edwards preached a sermon,
Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, during which strong men fell as
though shot and women became hysterical. Through his preaching,
thousands were converted to the Lord Jesus Christ.

   ARTIST'S NOTE: The blue laws of the Puritans are apparent in the
color scheme, and the flame points to the famous sermon, Sinners in the
Hands of an Angry God.
