Question

edwards sermon reflects the characteristics of the age of faith in that
select one:
a. it is instructive.
b. it is written in a plain style
c. it explores life for signs of god
d. all of the above

the shift in this piece occurs when edwards says
select one:
a. \therefore, let every one that is out of christ, now awake and fly from the wrath to come.\
b. \...but here you are in the land of the living and in the house of god, and have an opportunity to obtain salvation.\
c. \and now you have an extraordinary opportunity, a day wherein christ has thrown the door of mercy wide open, and stands in calling and crying with a loud voice to poor sinners\
d. \how can you rest one moment in such a condition? are not your souls as precious as the souls of the people at suffield*, where they are flocking from day to day to christ?\

Explanation:

For the first question: Jonathan Edwards' sermons (a key work of the Age of Faith) are instructional (aimed at teaching religious doctrine), use plain, direct language to reach common audiences, and center on interpreting life through the lens of God's presence and will. All listed traits apply.
For the second question: Edwards' typical structure in sermons like Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God first emphasizes God's wrath and humanity's peril, then shifts to offering the opportunity for salvation. The quote in option c marks this turn from warning to highlighting the open door of mercy and Christ's call to sinners.

Answer:

1. d. All of the above
2. c. "And now you have an extraordinary opportunity, a day wherein Christ has thrown the door of mercy wide open, and stands in calling and crying with a loud voice to poor sinners"
