On the End of the World and on Hell
In the first book of the Bible, Genesis, God creates the heavens, the earth, the sea, and all of its things. It's only fitting that in the last two chapters in the last book of the Bible, Revelation, that He reveals what is to happen at the end of creation and the world. This Theological Commonplace looks at the End of the Word, Hell, and Eternal Death. In this translation of Johann Gerhard's work, the reader will be introduced to the onomatology of different words and phrases at the beginning of each topic before diving into crucial questions about the topic. Pulling from Scripture and addressing questions such as Is there a hell? or Will the end of the world come? the reader will be able to see sound biblical arguments answering these questions. Additionally, the antithesis is given room to be discussed to show how both sides of the argument have come to fruition.
Sacred Meditations
Johann Gerhard's Sacred Meditations, first published in 1606 when the author was only twenty-two years old, is perhaps his best-known work. This volume is considered a classic of Christian devotion, and has been translated into numerous languages over the last four centuries. While Gerhard is often considered the most influential dogmatician of the Lutheran church, this book demonstrates that he is also among the greatest devotional writers.This book is divided into a series of fifty-one devotions. These short chapters cover a breadth of topics in both theology and the Christian's daily life. He begins with meditations on the cross and repentance, and brings the reader throughout the Christian life, ending with a treatment of the eternal bliss which awaits the saints.

The Method of Theological Study
In The Method of Theological Study, Johann Gerhard (1582-1637) sets forth the aims and topics of theological study which form a five year educational program for the preparation of Candidates for the Office of the Holy Ministry. In the words of Gerhard, "Speaking concisely and by way of outline, the study of theology is the remedy for our innate ignorance of spiritual matters and for the inherent disorder in our emotions; the stronghold for the cultivation of holiness and piety; the means for listening to God daily in the Word and for speaking to God daily in prayers; and, finally, a sort of prelude to that most holy and blessed society which we await in heaven." Since 1993, Repristination Press has led the effort to publish English translations of classics from the Age of Lutheran Orthodoxy (1580-1713).
On Sin and Free Choice - Theological Commonplaces
About This Volume On Sin and Free Choice consists of three of Johan Gerhard's commonplaces: On Original Sin, On Actual Sin, and On Free Choice On Original Sin establishes the existence of original sin from the testimony of the scriptures.

On Actual Sin presents Gerhard's understanding of committed sins, caused by mankind's corrupted nature, Satan, and the stumbling blocks of the world. He proposes various divisions of sin such as voluntary and involuntary sins, sins of i...
