An intimate account of spiritual death and resurrection
The Complete London Writings presents the spiritual and theological journal of a man revived by God's Word. German philosopher Johann Georg Hamann, destitute and depressed in London in 1758, bought a King James Bible on impulse. Within a month of reading it cover to cover, he was convicted of his sin and converted to Christ. His reading inspired him to write meditations on the entire Bible and reexamine the course of his life.
In these Writings, Hamann reflects on his life, the Scriptures, and faith. A combination of autobiography, philosophy, theology, and biblical exegesis, Hamann's work has been compared to Augustine's Confessions. Translated into English for the first time by John W. Kleinig, The Complete London Writings bring Hamann's thought to a new audience.
