Kierkegaard as Religious Thinker
Making innovative use of Kierkegaard's religious and philosophical works, David Gouwens explores his religious and theological thought, focusing on human nature, Christ, and Christian discipleship. He discusses Kierkegaard's main concerns as a religious thinker, and his treatment of "becoming Christian," and counters the customary interpretation of his religious thought as privatistic and asocial. Kierkegaard's ideas are seen to anticipate the end of "modernity," while standing at the center of the Christian tradition.
