The Day of Doom; Or, A Poetical Description of the Great and Last Judgment / With Other Poems

The collection centers on a long didactic poem that vividly imagines the Last Judgment, describing sudden celestial upheaval, the resurrection of the dead, assembly before the throne, separation of righteous and wicked, the pleas and self-accusations of sinners, the sentence and torments of the condemned, and the vindication and exaltation of the saved. Surrounding pieces include devotional poems, a prayer, an autobiographical memoir, and a funeral sermon, all framed as moral instruction. Recurrent concerns are divine justice, mercy, election, human accountability, and exhortation to repentance, presented in plain, forceful verse and stark imagery.
