Puritans on Death

[thistle93]

Hi! What books would you recommend on the subject of death from the purtian perspective?
The subject of death seems to be something missing in much of modern preaching/teaching but the puritans were concerned (maybe overly) with the topic of dying well and being prepared for death. Blessings!

For His Glory-
Matthew

John Flavel has a sermon in The Fountain of Life dealing with, among other things, 1 Cor 3.22's statement 'death...is yours.' It's an amazing sermon and right along the path you're walking here. It's Sermon XIV (pp. 176-187 in the BOT hardback, Vol. 1).

Consider also his Token for Mourners (Vol. 5); or Preparation for Suffering, or The Balm of the Covenant (both in Vol. 6).
