Recently, Yale University Press announced the upcoming publication of a case book for “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.” This looks like it will be of great value as new generations of readers, and especially students, study this infamous piece. Here is the description provided by the publisher:

Designed specifically for the classroom, this volume presents the accurate and definitive version of Sinners, accompanied by the tools necessary to study and teach this famous American sermon. With an introduction aimed at students and teachers and commentary that draws on fifty years of team editorial experience of Yale’s Works of Jonathan Edwards, it provides both context and interpretation, and addresses the concerns and questions of a twenty-first century audience.

The book contains questions for in-class discussion, a chronology of Edwards’s life, and a glossary. In addition, curricular materials and video mini-presentations are available on a dedicated Web site. This casebook represents an innovative contribution to the art of teaching Edwards to a new generation of readers.
