Reformation Historical Theology : Volume 83 : The Anchor of a Beliver's Hope : John Flavel's (ca. 1627-1691) Theology of Death, Dying, and Eternal Destiny

---

Outline : Recent scholarship has argued that the theology upheld by the Reformation was emotionally cold, neglecting to minis-ter hope to those around the deathbed. Jason Edwards has tested the validity of this conclusion by investigating how John Flavel (ca. 1627-1691) ministered Reformed doctrines relating to death and dying, as evidenced in his extant sermons and treatises. Edwards does so by (1) synthesizing Flavel's theology of death and dying in greater detail than what currently exists, (2) analyzing what he had to say about this topic using thematic coding. (3) identifying patterns in his contributions and demonstrating how his emphases provide insights into how Puritans behaved, and (4) reporting on Flavel's insights and applications of specific texts of Scripture. As a result, the intended outcome of such analytical work is (5) to improve existing scholarly knowledge in this meaningful area of inter-est. The uniqueness of Edwards' monograph is that Flavel's ministry of the reformed doctrines relating to anthropology, spirituality, and covenant theology sheds more light on pas-toral applications within the Reformed tradition as means for strengthening the hope of faithful believers mourning near a deathbed in any generation.
