N F S Grundtvig (1783-1872) was a prominent preacher, poet, scholar
and politician, who played a crucial role in the life of
nineteenth-century Denmark. His sermons and hymns, and his
educational and historical writings, gave birth to a national and
spiritual awakening, which still strongly affects Danish life and
thought today. This book is an introduction to Grundtvig to the
English speaking world. It begins with an overview of Grundtvig's
long and varied life, concentrating on a number of critical moments
in his intellectual and spiritual development. He was a man of
irrepressible energy and a volcanic temperament, and his life was
not without moments of high drama. The second part of the book
looks at vital aspects of his presentation of the Christian faith,
beginning from his vision of the Church as a living sacramental and
historical reality. It centres on the deeply Trinitarian nature of
his thinking: for him faith in God as Trinity has its outworking in
the whole of daily life, social and political, as well as personal.
The third section of the book follows Grundtvig's exposition of the
faith through the festivals of the Christian year. Grundtvig was a
man firmly rooted in his own time and place. But his thoughts often
have a prophetic ring to them. They have still much to say about
the underlying unity of the Christian tradition, about questions of
national identity and national interdependence, and about the way
in which we may come to a new understanding of the creation itself
as made in God's image and likeness.
