Sinopsis

About This VolumeáOn the End of the World and On Helláconsists of two of Johann GerhardâÇÖs commonplaces. The first,áOn the End of the World, considers the transition of fallen creation to the New Heaven and New Earth in the Eschaton through GerhardâÇÖs position that, besides mankind and the angels, all of creation will be totally annihilated before being made new. Within, Gerhard devotes the most pages to the chapters 'On the Form of the Consummation' and 'On the Attendant Circumstances of the Consummation of the Age,' covering his annihilation position and dealing with several Chiliastic/Millennialistic controversies.ááThe second,áOn Hell, or Eternal Death,áprovides a comprehensive, scriptural argument for the existence of Hell, against the teaching Universal Salvation apart from faith in Christ. It continuesáby examining the structure of Hell through the methodology of the four Aristotelian causes. Yet, this commonplace remains resolutely hopeful, as Gerhard repeatedly emphasizes the importance of these teachings to instill rightly ordered fear of God in the Christian life.ááAbout This SeriesáTheáTheological Commonplacesáseries is the first-ever English translation of GerhardâÇÖs 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.áUseful for research on Lutheran doctrine, GerhardâÇÖs accessible style makes this a must-have on the bookshelf of pastors and professional church workers.áEach embossed hardback volume includesâÇó the translation of GerhardâÇÖs Loci (originally published from 1610 to 1625)áâÇó a glossary of key theological, rhetorical, and philosophical termsáâÇó a name indexáâÇó a Scripture indexáâÇó a carefully researched works cited list that presents guidance for deciphering the numerous abbreviations of the other titles from which Gerhard quotes.
