Synopsis

Of The State Of The Dead, And Of Those That Are To Rise: In Two Volumes. The Last Part by Thomas Burnet. This volume presents Burnet's eschatological treatise translated from the Latin, surveying the state of the dead, the immortality of the soul, and the twofold resurrection, followed by a detailed account of the Millennium and the restoration of nature—the new heavens and new earth—and Christ's reign with the saints. It foregrounds a literal interpretation of biblical prophecies and the sequence of end-time events, arguing for a future earthly millennium preceding the final conflagration and universal judgment, and drawing on patristic authorities to defend the orthodox view against modern critiques. The work also treats the fate of the Jews in the Millennium, the descent of the Schechinah, and the palpable presence of God in the Kingdom. The translator's preface situates Burnet amid late 17th?century debates on providence, prophecy, and the afterlife, and presents a cautious but engaged defense of a millennial framework within Christian theology.
