(New Haven: Yale University Press, 1972), II 375. 5. Religious Affections, ed. John E. Smith, The Works of Jonathan Edwards 2 (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1959), p. 4n; Charles Chauncy, Seasonable Thoughts on the State of Religion in New England (Boston, 1743), p. 111. Edwards' and Chauncy's views about revivalism were so divergent as not to allow for any common ground on which they could discuss.
After serving an apprenticeship under his grandfather, Solomon Stoddard, generally known as the "pope" of the Connecticut Valley, Edwards succeeded him in the church at Northampton, where he remained until his dismissal by the congregation in 1750. That action was the culmination of an antagonism between Edwards and the people centering on the qualifications for church membership and the reception of Communion. As we now know, the circumstances were complex and by no means confined to theological differences; those differences, nevertheless, were of great importance for our topic.
No one can undertake to speak about Edwards without mentioning a peculiar irony that has no parallel in the history of a major thinker. Edwards wrote at least 650 sermons, most of which we possess in manuscript, but one of these sermons, by no means typical, has turned out to be the only piece of his writing known to Page 8 those who know his name at all. " 2 This sermon, for more than half a century, has been cited in handbooks of American literature as the very hallmark of Puritan rhetoric. In it, Edwards' angry God is depicted as suspending sinners over the fiery pit of hell on a thread no stronger than that spun by a spider and used for flying on the wind.
