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 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.
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'.
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.
