“Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”

Playbill Activity

ScenarioAn old friend of yours is producing a

one-person play called "Sinners," which is based on the work 

"Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" by Jonathan Edwards. Your friend is

creating a playbill for the performance, but can't decide on the black-and-white photograph to use

for the cover art. He wants an image conveys the themes of Edwards'

sermon.

The Task

Consider the photographs your friend has provided below. Based on your

understanding of Edwards' sermon, select the image your friend should use for the playbill. Be sure to explain in detail the

reasoning behind your choice, and include one direct example of

textual evidence to support your claim.
