The World To Come, or, Discourses On The Joys Or Sorrows Of The Departed Souls At Death And The Glory Or Terror Of The Resurrection
By Isaac Watts
Published by George Virtue: London 1838 New Edition

" The World to Come, or, Discourses on the Joys or Sorrows of the Departed Souls at Death and the Glory or Terror of the Resurrection (1838), by Isaac Watts and published by George Virtue, London, is a deeply reflective theological work exploring the fate of the human soul after death and the eternal consequences of earthly life. Drawing upon Scripture and reason with the clarity for which Watts was renowned, the book offers a series of devotional discourses on death, judgment, heaven, and hell. His prose blends pastoral compassion with moral urgency, seeking to awaken faith and repentance while offering consolation to believers facing mortality. In the grand tradition of eighteenth-century dissenting theology, Watts unites doctrinal insight with personal conviction, addressing both the intellect and the heart.

This "new edition" of 1838 preserves one of the most enduring devotional texts of the Enlightenment era, presented in a handsome Victorian binding typical of Virtue's religious publications. Watts's meditations are timeless in their moral resonance, balancing the terrors of divine justice with the radiant hope of redemption and resurrection. The volume remains a stirring example of early Protestant eschatological thought and would especially appeal to collectors of theological literature, admirers of devotional prose, and students of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Christian philosophy.
