Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) was an American Puritan pastor, theologian, and missionary to Native Americans who helped shape the First Great Awakening. His most well-known sermon, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”, was delivered serendipitously when another pastor fell ill. Edwards was made president of Princeton University, but died shortly afterward from an inoculation of smallpox vaccine.
