| Summary: | This essay examines the funeral sermon given by the Baptist theologian Andrew Fuller (1754-1815) for his friend and deacon Beeby Wallis in 1792 as a vantage-point from which to pursue reflection on Fuller's concept of heaven and the beatific vision. The sermon has two main themes: the rest and rewards of those who die in Christ. The essay examines how Fuller interprets both of these phrases and then, looking at the rest of Fuller's corpus, notes that ultimately God himself is the believer's reward. |
