"'The Bow of God's Wrath is bent, and Justice bends the Arrow at your
Heart, and strains the Bow; and it is nothing but the mere Pleasure of God,
and that an Angry God, without any Promise or Obligation at all, that keeps
the Arrow one Moment from being made drunk with your Blood.'
With these words Jonathan Edwards threatened the hearts of his New England
congregation by disclosing to them, unmitigated, the ogre aspects of the
father. he riveted them to the pews with images of the mythological ordeal;
for though the Puritan prohibited the graven image, yet he allowed himself
the verbal."
p.126
