Exploring Kierkegaard's complex use of the Bible, the essays in
this volume use source-critical research and tools ranging from
literary criticism to theology and biblical studies, to situate
Kierkegaard's appropriation of the biblical material in his
cultural and intellectual context. The contributors seek to
identify the possible sources that may have influenced
Kierkegaard's understanding and employment of Scripture, and to
describe the debates about the Bible that may have shaped, perhaps
indirectly, his attitudes toward Scripture. They also pay close
attention to Kierkegaard's actual hermeneutic practice, analyzing
the implicit interpretive moves that he makes as well as his more
explicit statements about the significance of various biblical
passages. This close reading of Kierkegaard's texts elucidates the
unique and sometimes odd features of his frequent appeals to
Scripture. This volume in the series devotes one tome to the Old
Testament and a second tome to the New Testament. Tome I considers
the canonically disputed literature of the Apocrypha. Although
Kierkegaard certainly cited the Old Testament much less frequently
than he did the New, passages and themes from the Old Testament do
occupy a position of startling importance in his writings. Old
Testament characters such as Abraham and Job often play crucial and
even decisive roles in his texts. Snatches of Old Testament wisdom
figure prominently in his edifying literature. The vocabulary and
cadences of the Psalms saturate his expression of the range of
human passions from joy to despair. The essays in this first tome
seek to elucidate the crucial rhetorical uses to which he put key
passages from the Old Testament, the sources that influenced him to
do this, and his reasons for doing so.
