ON DEATH 1 - THEOLOGICAL COMMONPLACES.

This volume contains the first part of Johann Gerhard's commonplace On Death, originally published in 1621 in the eighth volume of Gerhard's Theological Commonplaces. Deeply interested in eschatological matters, Gerhard held several disputations from 1607-1636, with topics ranging from death, resurrection, judgment, hell, heaven, souls after death, and purgatory. This volume deals not just with death, narrowly, but with other important topics for Christian faith and pastoral care of souls.
