Description
In contrast to the medieval “art of dying” manuals that failed to give assurance to the dying as these works tried to instruct them in proper repentance for final reconciliation with God, Luther and his followers brought assurance of God’s promise of forgiveness and eternal life through the use of the means of grace as they ministered to the dying. Examples from 16th and 17th centuries recount how ministry to the dying was practiced in early modern Lutheranism.
