Kierkegaard has always enjoyed a rich reception in the fields of
theology and religious studies. This reception might seem obvious
given that he is one of the most important Christian writers of the
nineteenth century, but Kierkegaard was by no means a
straightforward theologian in any traditional sense. He had no
enduring interest in some of the main fields of theology such as
church history or biblical studies, and he was strikingly silent on
many key Christian dogmas. Moreover, he harbored a degree of
animosity towards the university theologians and churchmen of his
own day. Despite this, he has been a source of inspiration for
numerous religious writers from different denominations and
traditions. Tome II is dedicated to tracing Kierkegaard's influence
in Anglophone and Scandinavian Protestant religious thought.
Kierkegaard has been a provocative force in the English-speaking
world since the early twentieth century, inspiring almost
contradictory receptions. In Britain, before World War I, the few
literati who were familiar with his work tended to assimilate
Kierkegaard to the heroic individualism of Ibsen and Nietzsche. In
the United States knowledge of Kierkegaard was introduced by
Scandinavian immigrants who brought with them a picture of the Dane
as much more sympathetic to traditional Christianity. The
interpretation of Kierkegaard in Britain and America during the
early and mid-twentieth century generally reflected the
sensibilities of the particular theological interpreter. Anglican
theologians generally found Kierkegaard to be too one-sided in his
critique of reason and culture, while theologians hailing from the
Reformed tradition often saw him as an insightful harbinger of
neo-orthodoxy. The second part of Tome II is dedicated to the
Kierkegaard reception in Scandinavian theology, featuring articles
on Norwegian and Swedish theologians influenced by Kierkegaard.
