The Gospels teach Christians to “Watch, stay awake and pray, for you do not know when the time is.” The question is who is to stay awake? If it’s Christians, why are they do stay awake? This Theological Commonplace looks at Gerhard’s stance in answering these questions, digging deep into the resurrection and Christ’s second coming. This edition focuses specifically on the onthamology, four truths of the resurrections, the proofs of judgment, and much more.
The Theological Commonplaces series is the first-ever English translation of Johann 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.
