Orestes Brownson and the Problem of Revelation

"This book traces Brownson's theological development as a Protestant against the backdrop of the post-Enlightenment problem of establishing the grounds for the possibility of divine revelation. As such, it offers a vantage point into the antebellum American intellectual context while allowing Brownson's Protestant thought to stand on its own as an original and enterprisiing intellectual response to the religious problems of the day"--Jacket.
