From the publisher

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.

Description adapted from the publisher, Lexham Press.

About the author. Johann Georg Hamann (1730-1788) was a German Lutheran philosopher and an influential figure in post-Kantian philosophy, particularly known for his critique of Enlightenment rationalism and his thought on the complexity of humanity and faith.
