Edward uses this phrase in order to "illustrate that this type of suffering is unimaginable."

  • Edwards chose the line "Oh who can articulate what the state of a soul in such circumstances is!" to highlight how absurd this kind of pain is. Jonathan Edwards wrote "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God."
  • The American theologian Jonathan Edwards wrote the sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," which he delivered to his own church in Northampton, Massachusetts, to great success, and again on July 8, 1741, in Enfield, Connecticut. The First Great Awakening was sparked by the delivery of this sermon.
  • The sermon Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God by Jonathan Edwards, delivered on July 8, 1741 in Enfield, Connecticut, is an exhortation to "sinners" to acknowledge that they will face God's judgment, which will be more terrifying and painful than they can imagine.

Thus the correct answer is Option C.
