Sinners Modern Day Post

I think that if Edwards had delivered the speech in a fiery, fist shaking, shouting manner then in modern day he would be dismissed as a fool and possibly insane. However, because he delivered it so calmly as if it was a matter of fact it probably would have still had some impact today. It still would have likely caused many religious people to be somewhat alarmed and possibly shake their faith. But today most people are not as religious as the majority of the populace was back then. It is doubtful that the sermon would have had nearly as much impact now as it did then.
