Synopsis
A Practical Discourse Concerning Death by William Sherlock. This 1713 treatise approaches death from a Christian theological perspective, arguing that life is a state of probation ordained by God and that death is a necessary transition. Sherlock treats four last things—death, judgment, heaven, and hell—and examines what death is: primarily the separation of soul and body, with the soul surviving and the body returning to dust. He contends that death is not only a punishment for sin but also a merciful provision, and that immortal life is granted through Christ’s redemptive work. The work emphasizes how to live wisely now: mortifying sinful desires, cultivating virtuous and spiritual dispositions, and prioritizing the unseen joys of the next world over transient earthly pleasures. It asserts that the time of death is uncertain yet ultimately fixed by God, and that we should prepare daily, avoiding dangerous expectations of long life and deathbed repentance. Central themes include the resurrection of the body, the eternal rewards or punishments based on conduct, and the imperative to live in holiness in light of eternity.
