About this title

Synopsis

"The Four Last Things: Namely, Death, Judgment, Heaven And Hell, Practically Considered And Applied In Several Discourses" by William Bates is a theological collection that delves into the Christian fates of humanity after death. This volume gathers a series of discourses on Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell, rooted in the late 17th-century dissenting tradition. Bates presents the idea that death is an inevitable consequence of sin, while Christ’s death offers redemption and liberation from the fear of death. The work examines the entrance of death into the world, the anxieties it creates, and the believer’s freedom through the gospel. It provides a thorough exploration of resurrection, the joys of heaven, and the horrors of hell. Additionally, the book features a biographical notice of the author and a critical overview by the editor, placing Bates among notable nonconformist writers and dissenting theologians of his time.
