Most of what is written on Kierkegaard today is for the college classroom and academic conferences. The guiding question of this book is that if Kierkegaard's words about Christianity are true, how do they change the way we learn and practice the Christian faith today? This book is an answer to that question. It does not enter into an extended critical discussion over the truth of Kierkegaard's ideas. Instead it just believes what Kierkegaard said and runs with it. It does that by showing how his ideas change our understanding of Christian identity, suffering and illness, worship and preaching, the Bible, baptism, prayer, marriage and divorce, criticism, and the Christian minister.

Set in Copenhagen and the Danish West Indies in the mid-nineteenth century, LOVING SOREN is the true story of Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard, told from the point of view of his fiancee. It is about a woman who tries to save a man from himself, and ends up losing her self in the process. And it raises the issue: can you ever get over your first love? A historical novel of faith, love and idenity about one of the most regarded philosophers of the modern era.
"Eric Ziolkowski's monumental study examines Kierkegaard's whole "prolix literature" - including the pseudonymous and the signed published writings as well as his private journals, papers, and letters - in relation to works by five other literary giants. Kierkegaard himself stresses the essentially literary as opposed to the strictly theological or philosophical nature of his writings. Uncovering this neglected aspect of Kierkegaard's oeuvre, Ziolkowski first considers the notions of aesthetics and the aesthetic as Kierkegaard adapted them, then his posture as a poet and his self-conception as "a weed in literature". After taking account of the history of the critical recognition of Kierkega...

Torsdag den 12. november 1840 foretog den 27-årige Søren Kierkegaard som sædvanlig en gåtur i Københavns gader. Undervejs slog han et smut omkring Børsen, hvor han i Schubothes boghandel købte en splinterny roman i to bind skrevet af Carl Bernhard. Gamle Minder lød dens lovende titel. Efter købet ilede Kierkegaard hjem til sin lejlighed på Nørregade, hvor han i de følgende dage slugte den ekstremt underholdende bog, der foregår i Struensee-årene og handler om lidenskab og troskab. Ja, han blev så begejstret for værket, at han onsdag den 18. november forærede det til sin forlovede den 18-årige Regine Olsen. Hvorfor ville Kierkegaard for enhver pris have netop hende til at læse Bernhards roman? Hvilken rolle kom Gamle Minder i det hele taget til at spille i den verdensberømte love story, der udspillede sig for knap 200 år siden bag voldene i Kongens København? Kierkegaards saltomortalespring henvender sig til alle, der måtte interessere sig for Søren Kierkegaard, Regine Olsen, Carl Bernhard og/eller tilsyneladende ulykkelige kærlighedshistorier, der måske alligevel ender lykkeligt?
