His powerful sermons relied on strong rhetoric intended to elicit an emotional response from listeners. Experience the reasoning of the great Puritan philosopher in his sermons, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, " the most famous sermon in American history, and "Pardon for the Greatest of Sinners."
