Holmer: A Select Bibliography Bibliography Index of Names Index of Subjects much in vogue recentlyWhat People are Saying About This
"Paul L. Holmer was and is still a largely unheralded Kierkegaard scholar and analytic philosopher. This volume and the collected works series it introduces should do a lot to correct that oversight in both fields. We owe the editors, both of whom were Holmer's students, a great deal of thanks for their labor of love."
-Robert L. Perkins
Stetson University
"Paul Holmer was one of the most interesting and original religious thinkers in mid-twentieth-century America, yet he is little known today. So[enter back slash through O]ren Kierkegaard was his central scholarly interest and his unusual and provocative reading of Kierkegaard is important."
-David Kelsey
Yale Divinity School
"Almost fifty years ago Paul Holmer finished a manuscript about Kierkegaard but then left it unpublished. Instead, emulating Socrates, Holmer spent the following decades focused on encouraging Yale Kierkegaard students to examining their own lives with intellectual rigor. The result was a revolution in American Kierkegaard scholarship . . ."
-Andrew J. Burgess
The University of New Mexico
"With the two-hundredth anniversary of Kierkegaard's birth approaching in 2013, what a treat to have Paul L. Holmer's long awaited and now posthumous On Kierkegaard and the Truth to clarify Kierkegaard's status as a philosopher and the role of logic and reason in his thought. A master philosopher and teacher himself, Holmer knew how to cut to the very essence of a thinker's thought, as he does here with Kierkegaard's."
-Sylvia Walsh
Stetson University
"Professor Paul L. Holmer was the doyen of Kierkegaard studies for much of the later part of the twentieth century. His jargon-free writings are crisp, clear, epiphanic, and always in earnest . . ."
