Books by W. O. E. Oesterley

In this work, Oesterley presents an outline of the antecedents of the Christian doctrine of last things. He also endeavors to distinguish the fundamental differences between the Gospel teaching and its precursors.

First published in 1923, this book presents a discussion of 'the part played by the Sacred Dance among the peoples of antiquity'. Chapters include 'The origin and purposes of the sacred dance', 'Dances in celebration of victory' and 'The sacred dance as a marriage rite'.

Originally published in 1902, this book contains a preliminary study of the differences between a number of Greek and Latin manuscripts containing the text of the Book of Amos. Oesterley puts key texts side-by-side in order to display more clearly the discrepancies in each original source and supplies a critical apparatus at the bottom of each page.
