Natural Theology by H L Osterman
This is Valentines major apologetic work. In this book, Valentine defends a robust natural theology, arguing that Theism is the only rational worldview in contradistinction to the materialistic rationalism which pervaded the nineteenth century. Valentine stands within the nineteenth century apologetic tradition among the likes of B.B. Warfield an Charles Hodge. Though some of the science of this book is dated, this work still stands as a convincing rational defense of the Christian faith.
Milton Valentine (1825-1906) was the most prominent theologian of the General Synod after the death of Samuel Schmucker. Unlike Schmucker, Valentine was committed to the Unaltered Augsburg Confession, and argued for Lutheran unity in America based on a quia subscription to the Augustana. Unity was impossible, however, due to the remaining liberalism amongst many clergy and theologians in the General Synod.
