Few thinkers are as qualified to provide an easy-reading, yet plausibly accurate and complete version of Schleiermacher’s thought. Tice, whose name is synonymous with Schleiermacher scholarship, is an accomplished author and translator. His mastery of Schleiermacher’s works, both published and unpublished, is widely recognized. . . . I would recommend the book for chapter 2 alone. In it we see both Schleiermacher and Tice at their best. Indeed, we not only see, but feel, the intellectual vision and heartfelt piety that inspires both.
