Dying in the Lord (2/3): Preparation


Listen Later

How can a Christian prepare for death? It is a question pertinent to us all, and yet it is asked earnestly by so few.

This week we seek guidance on this question from the work of the seventeenth-century minister George Swinnock and the nineteenth-century pastoral theologian Archibald Alexander. 

 

Featured Resources: 

- Excerpt from 'The Fading of the Flesh' in The Works of George Swinnock, Vol. 3 (1672; repr. Edinburgh: Banner of Truth, 1996), pages 466–471. 

- Excerpt from Archibald Alexander, Thoughts on Religious Experience (1844; repr. Edinburgh: Banner of Truth, 1978, 2024), pages 277–280.
