what does it mean hell hath no fury
Hell hath no fury "Hell hath no fury" is an interpreted line based on a quotation from The Mourning Bride, a play by William Congreve, which reads in full "Heav'n has no rage like love to hatred turn'd / Nor Hell a fury, like a woman scorn'd."
Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God This is a typical sermon of the Great Awakening, emphasizing the belief that Hell is a real place. Edwards hoped that the imagery and language of his sermon would awaken audiences to the horrific reality that he believed awaited them should they continue life without devotion to Christ.[4] The underlying point is that God has given humanity a chance to rectify their sins. Edwards says that it is the will of God that keeps wicked men from the depths of Hell. This act of restraint has given humanity a chance to mend their ways and return to Christ.[5]
