T&T Clark Reader in Kierkegaard as TheologianAuthor :
Paperback
Published : Thursday 22 February 2018
Description
Lee Barrett discusses the uniqueness and challenges of Kierkegaards approach to theology. He examines Kierkegaards explicit reflections on the appropriate way to engage in the theological task, as well as shows how the theme of Gods "otherness" is held in dialectical tension with the theme of Gods intimate love. Barrett discusses Kierkegaards key reflections of the nature and purpose of human life as a paradoxical journey toward self-fulfilment through a self-emptying in which the self more intensively reflects Gods self-giving love. He examines the works that describe sin as both a condition in which the individual is trapped and as a culpable act for which the individual must assume responsibility. Barrett explores Kierkegaards thoughts on sin, his descriptions of Jesus Christ as the enactment in time of Gods eternal self-giving compassion, his view of faith and his critique of culturally established Christianity as a form of fatal religious anaesthesia. This volume includes the following pedagogical features:- Each chapter contains its own introduction, explanatory notes, discussion questions and recommendation for further reading in both the primary and secondary literature- Includes links to Kierkegaardian texts provided by the Kierkegaard Research Center of the University of Copenhagen, the Howard and Edna Hong Kierkegaard Library of St Olaf College, as well as the resources of the Soren Kierkegaard Society
