Note: Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God is a PERSUASIVE SPEECH, that is it attempts to convince listeners to think or act in a certain way. The effectiveness of a persuasive speech depends to a large extent upon the audience's perception of the speaker, the speaker's consideration of the audience and setting, and the choice of persuasive techniques.
The Speaker's Qualifications. A speaker must establish his or her qualifications to speak on the subject. In many cases the speaker's reputation alone convinces an audience of his or her qualifications. In other cases the speaker must gain the audience's trust by displaying his or her knowledge of the subject or presenting his or her credentials.

Audience. It is also important for the speaker to be aware of the audience he or she is addressing. The writer must take into account the backgrounds, ages, interest and beliefs of the audience.
Occasion. The time and place at which a persuasive speech is to be presented will also affect its content. Often the speaker will include references to current events or examples that will appeal to current interests.
Technique. Finally, the speaker must decide which persuasive techniques will best serve his or her purpose. A speaker may choose to present a logical argument or may appeal to past traditions or to the audience's emotions or sense or reason, or she or he may use a variety of other techniques.
