indifferent
amused

confused
PS THE ANSWER IS NOT COMPASSIONATE OR AMUSED.

Answer 1

The answer has to be compassionate because there's nothing confusing or amusing about it, nor is he indifferent. He is extremely compassionate in his descriptions of hell that are rather vivid and terrible. He is compassionate towards the people because he believes that through god they can evade going to hell.

Answer 2

Correct answer choice is :

A) Compassionate

Step-by-step explanation:

Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God is a doctrine written by British Colonial Christian theologian Jonathan Edwards, taught to his own group in Northampton, Massachusetts to the strange effect, and again on July 8, 1741, in Enfield, Connecticut. It merges vivid description of Hell with perceptions of the world and indictments of the reality. Edwards's purpose was to teach his audiences about the fears of hell, the hazards of sin, and the terrors of being lost. Edwards explained the shaky position of those who do not follow Christ's urgent call to take forgiveness.
