On Religion: Speeches to Its Cultured Despisers - Enhanced Version Kindle Edition

by Friedrich Schleiermacher (Author), Jack Frostman (Foreword), B.D. John Oman (Introduction, Translator) Format: Kindle Edition
2.8 out of 5 stars 3 ratings
Young Friedrich Schleiermacher was a Reformed Calvinist Chaplain in Berlin when he wrote his first major work, On Religion: Speeches to Its Cultured Despisers. Comprised of five speeches on religion, Schleiermacher’s book was largely influenced by several rationalist philosophers that Schleiermacher had studied. Schleiermacher argued that religion was rooted in human feelings, describing the core of religion as “a sense and taste for the Infinite in the finite.” He understood religion as the human effort to communicate our experienced consciousness of the Divine within the human social sphere. As a result of his analysis, Schleiermacher was sensitive to the limitations of religion in the finite realm. The emergence of this book in 1799 marked the beginning of the era of Protestant Liberal Theology, and it offered a method of understanding religion that was refreshing for Schleiermacher’s time.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Rough translation
    Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2015
    Format: Kindle
    I obtained the Kindle sample to preview the translation before purchasing the entirety of the text. The translation is a literal one with very little adjustment for context, making it very difficult to understand. I deleted the sample and will look for an alternative edition.
