The Problem Of Faith And Freedom In The Last Two Centuries (1906)

""The Problem of Faith and Freedom in the Last Two Centuries"" is a book written by John Oman and published in 1906. The book explores the relationship between faith and freedom in the context of the last two centuries of human history. Oman argues that the two concepts are inherently linked, and that the struggle for freedom has been a central theme in the development of faith over the past two centuries.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the problem of faith and freedom. Oman begins by exploring the relationship between faith and reason, arguing that faith is not opposed to reason but rather complements it. He then goes on to examine the role of freedom in the development of religious thought, arguing that freedom is essential for the growth and evolution of faith.Throughout the book, Oman draws on a wide range of historical and philosophical sources to support his arguments. He discusses the works of philosophers such as Kant and Hegel, as well as the writings of religious thinkers such as Martin Luther and John Wesley. He also examines the impact of social and political movements on the development of faith, including the Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution, and the rise of democracy.Overall, ""The Problem of Faith and Freedom in the Last Two Centuries"" is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between faith and freedom. It offers a nuanced and insightful analysis of the challenges and opportunities that arise when these two concepts are brought into dialogue with one another.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
