Pneumatologia: A Treatise of the Soul of Man

John Flavel (c. 1627–1691) was an English Puritan minister at Dartmouth in Devon. Ejected from his pulpit in 1662, he continued to preach to his people as the law allowed, and suffered for it under the persecution of Nonconformists. His writings are models of clear, affectionate practical divinity; our library holds The Fountain of Life, The Method of Grace, The Saint Indeed, and his treatise on keeping the heart.

About this book

John Flavel's treatise on the soul of man, published in 1685 under the older title Pneumatologia. Flavel considers the soul's nature and faculties, its union with the body, and above all its immortality and state after death. Written with his usual pastoral warmth, it directs readers to prepare for eternity by caring first for the part of them that will live forever.
