Soren Kierkegaard denounced nineteenth-century Danish Lutheranism
for exploiting Martin Luther's doctrine of justification "without
works" as justification for an antinomian easy life. Kierkegaard
saw his own writing as a corrective: "I have wanted to prevent
people in 'Christendom' from existentially taking in vain Luther
and the significance of Luther's life." In 1847, Kierkegaard began
an eight-year reading of Luther's sermons, forking through them for
extracts to confirm his theological corrective rather than to
comprehend the breadth of Luther's thought. While he found much to
laud, Kierkegaard also found much to lance, privately commenting
that Luther was partially responsible for what he considered the
problematic Lutheranism of his own day. Furthermore, David Coe
argues, Kierkegaard was unaware that his copy of Luther's church
and house postils was a heavily abridged edition of extracts from
those postils. Therefore, his appraisal of Luther begs to be
investigated. Kierkegaard and Luther examines the Luther sermons
Kierkegaard read, what he praised and criticized, missed, and
misjudged of Luther, and spotlights the concord these two Lutheran
giants actually shared, namely, the negative yet necessary role
that Christian suffering (Anfechtung/Anfaegtelse) plays in
Christian faith and life.
