“The most interesting, if not the most valuable feature of Prof. Oman’s book, is the diversity of material which it contains. The whole episode assumes new meaning under his skilful analysis of the causes which prompted such a widespread and spontaneous uprising.”

7–29073.
“A critical review of two centuries of debate upon the problem of faith and freedom, which arose in the Protestant reformation.... Jesuitism and Pascal’s ‘Pensées,’ English deism and Butler’s Analogy, Rationalism and Kant on Pure reason, Romanticism and Schleiermacher’s Discourses on religion, The French revolution, and Newman’s ‘Apologia,’ the Development theory, and Baur’s Church history, the Theory of experience and Ritschlianism ... make up a conspectus of a highly diversified field.”—Outlook.
