Friedrich Max Muller and the Sacred Books of the East

Zusatztext Since the series as such has rarely been the object of close historical research ... Molendijks monograph is an original and very welcome contribution. ... the first part of the book is largely narrative and full of interesting observations and anecdotes, while the second is more analytical and reflective and has shorter chapters. Altogether this makes reading the book as a whole an easy, but reflective and rewarding experience. Informationen zum Autor Arie L. Molendijk is Professor of History of Christianity and Philosophy at the University of Groningen. He studied Theology, Philosophy, and Drama at the University of Leiden. Professor Molendijk has extensively published in the history of ideas, in particular Nineteenth- and Twentieth-century Theology, Religious studies, and Philosophy.
