LUTHERAN PHILOSOPHER

 I was taking a CE class in Anaheim, CA. Prof. John T. Pless taught on "Psalms as Pastoral Theology". 

During the discussion of Ps. 51 - the penitent psalm of king David - Dr. Pless mentioned that if we are to look for a Lutheran philosopher we can find one in Johann Georg Hamann, but not in Emanuel Kant. 

Honestly, I never heard this name before, and begun to look for the info. Turns out, Oswald Bayer wrote a book on Hamann that was translated to English in 2012 - here is the link.

Then a few years ago (2021) Dr. Kleinig translated and published his London Writings, where Hamann presented the story of his conversion and return to faithful life in Christ. 

Here is wiki page on the Lutheran Philosopher.
