The Theological Commonplaces series is the first-ever English translation of Johann Gerhard's monumental work, Loci Theologic, widely regarded as the standard compendium of Lutheran orthodoxy. In it, Gerhard, the premier Lutheran theologian of the early seventeenth century, combined his profound understanding of evangelical Lutheran theology with a broad interest in ethics and culture, producing significant works on biblical, doctrinal, pastoral, and devotional theology. Useful for research on Lutheran doctrine, Gerhard's accessible style makes this a must-have on the bookshelf of pastors and professional church workers. This volume contains the first part of Gerhard's commonplace On Death, originally published in 1621 in the eighth volume of Gerhard's Theological Commonplaces. The eighth volume of the original edition also includes the commonplace On the Resurrection of the Dead. This is the first of the author's six commonplaces on the Last Things (eschatology).
