Do an author's words help shape the beliefs of the time, or do the beliefs of the time shape an author's words?
This chicken-or-the-egg question can be applied to all literature.
For your next assignment, you will use your knowledge of Puritan beliefs and the main ideas from an excerpt of the famous sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" by Jonathan Edwards to support your position in response to the question above.
