Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion, Vol. 3: The Consummate Religion

The third volume of philosopher G.W.F. Hegel's LECTURES ON THE PHILOSOPHY OF RELIGION covers Hegel's philosophical interpretation of Christianity. Taken together, the three volumes establish a critical study, separating the material and publishing it as autonomous units on the basis of a complete re-editing of the sources--a series of actual lectures delivered by Hegel in 1821, 1824, 1827, and 1831. This volume contains Part III of Hegel's Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion; its subject matter is the Christian religion, for which Hegel's philosophical designation is the "consummate" or "revelatory" religion.
