Overview

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.

About This Series

The Theological Commonplaces series is the first-ever English translation of Gerhard’s monumental Loci Theologici. Gerhard was the premier Lutheran theologian of the early seventeenth century. Combining his profound understanding of evangelical Lutheran theology with a broad interest in ethics and culture, he produced significant works on biblical, doctrinal, pastoral, and devotional theology. Gerhard interacts with the writings of the church fathers, Luther and his contemporaries, and the Catholic and Calvinist theologians of his day. His 17-volume Loci is regarded as the standard compendium of Lutheran orthodoxy, with topics ranging from the proper understanding and interpretation of Scripture to eschatology.

Useful for research on Lutheran doctrine, Gerhard’s accessible style makes this a must-have on the bookshelf of pastors and professional church workers.

Each embossed hardback volume includes:

  • the translation of Gerhard's Loci (originally published from 1610 to 1625)
  • a glossary of key theological, rhetorical, and philosophical terms
  • a name index
  • a Scripture index
