1775 German Theology Antique – Johann Georg Olbers Schriftmäßige und erbauliche Betrachtungen über die letzten Dinge Vol. IV – Leipzig & Bremen – Original Leather Binding

This 1775 German theological work by Johann Georg Olbers is a collection of Lutheran devotional reflections centred on the “Last Things” — death, eternity, judgement, and the promise of everlasting life. Written in the tradition of 18th-century Protestant sermon literature, the text offers scriptural meditations intended to guide personal faith, moral conduct, and spiritual preparation.

Edited for publication by Johann Heinrich Pratje, this fourth and final volume concludes the series with teachings on mortality and the Christian understanding of eternal destiny, reflecting the devotional culture and religious thought of late Enlightenment Germany.

Condition: Very Good – A handsome late-18th-century volume bound in contemporary full calf, the spine divided by raised bands and richly decorated with period tooling. The binding shows attractive, honest wear commensurate with age, including rubbing to the boards, scuffing along the joints, and some loss at the head and tail of the spine; nevertheless, the structure remains firm and the book handles securely.

Internally complete and well preserved. The paper exhibits gentle age toning with scattered foxing, more noticeable to the preliminaries, yet the text remains clean and fully legible throughout in traditional Gothic type.

A contemporary ownership inscription appears on the title page, adding to the volume’s historical character. Overall, a genuine 1775 German theological work in sound antique condition, retaining strong shelf presence and period charm.
