Friedrich Schleiermacher reveals his philosophical attitudes to religion, and mounts a defense and justification for faith as an expression of human nature. At the time Schleiermacher authored this passionate and detailed account of faith, he was all too aware of the changes in the scholarly atmosphere of late 18th century Germany. The traditional, theological schools of thought were being rapidly supplanted by philosophy and the natural sciences, as discoveries multiplied and the earliest incarnation of modernity commenced to assume shape. The growing animosity among academics is reflected in the subtitle; indeed, this rise of such sophisticated anti-religious discourse worried the author. This work is divided into five speeches. The first is concerned with defending religion against common detraction. As a learned man who had also struggled with aspects of his Protestant faith, Schleiermacher is in a good position to counter the arguments levied against religious belief.

John Wood Oman (1860 1939) was a renowned British theologian who was Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics at Westminster College, Cambridge. In this book, which was first published in 1931, Oman provides a comprehensive discussion regarding the sacred aspects of human existence in their relationship with the material world. Fundamental points are raised in connection with the nature of freedom, knowing and the spiritual aspects of the universe. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the writings of Oman, theology and philosophy."

First published in 1917, this book by the theologian John Oman was based on a series of articles that originally appeared in the Expositor beginning in October 1911. Although the theological underpinnings of the articles remained largely unaltered, the publication of the book itself was considerably influenced by the events of the First World War. Oman reflects on the effects of the war in his preface: 'It scattered my students, interrupted more directly historical and philosophical studies into which an appointment to the University lectureship on the Philosophy of Religion at Cambridge had led me, sent me into camps and hospitals where fundamental religious questions were constantly being discussed, and forced upon me the reconsideration of my whole religious position.' The resulting work is a sober theological treatise on the themes of grace and personality, borne out of many years of personal reflection, and offering what Oman hoped would be 'a Christian valuation of men and means, souls and things'.

John Oman (1860-1939) was a well-respected British theologian who passed away suddenly before he could send off the manuscript of his final book for publication. This book was finally published in 1941, and is prefaced by two memoirs of Oman written by his friends George Alexander and H. H. Farmer. In the text, Oman discusses how the First World War disturbed 'both faith and morals', and suggests important questions that must be considered for the Church to be restored. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in inter-war Christianity and the history of theology.

Originally published in 1928, this book contains a revision of the English translation of the biblical book of Revelation, first done by John Oman in 1923. Oman makes some key changes to his earlier publication, especially with regards to the length and number sections into which he divided the book, as well as some alterations to the translation. The original Greek text is presented on each facing page of the English, and a brief analysis is provided at the end to supplement the longer analysis in the 1923 version. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in biblical commentary and the preservation and transmission of biblical texts.

Originally published in 1923, this book contains an English translation of the biblical book of Revelation. Oman has rearranged the text in a way that he supposes replicates most closely the text as it was originally conceived and written, and supplies the original Greek text on the opposite page to the translation, as well as a detailed and thoughtful commentary at the end of the book. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in biblical commentary and the preservation and transmission of biblical texts.

Originally published in 1921, this book contains twenty-one sermons by British theologian John Oman. Oman discusses topics such as God's acceptance of failure, appearance and reality, and the Christian method of prayer, using accessible language for theologians and lay people alike. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in theology.
