The long period from the Renaissance to the nineteenth century
supplied numerous sources for Kierkegaard's thought in any number
of different fields. The present, rather heterogeneous volume
covers the long period from the birth of Savonarola in 1452 through
the beginning of the nineteenth century and into Kierkegaard's own
time. The Danish thinker read authors representing vastly different
traditions and time periods. Moreover, he also read a diverse range
of genres. His interests concerned not just philosophy, theology
and literature but also drama and music. The present volume
consists of three tomes that are intended to cover Kierkegaard's
sources in these different fields of thought. Tome II is dedicated
to the wealth of theological and religious sources from the
beginning of the Reformation to Kierkegaard's own day. It examines
Kierkegaard's relations to some of the key figures of the
Reformation period, from the Lutheran, Reformed and Catholic
traditions. It thus explores Kierkegaard's reception of theologians
and spiritual authors of various denominations, most of whom are
known to history primarily for their exposition of practical
spirituality rather than theological doctrine. Several of the
figures investigated here are connected to the Protestant tradition
of Pietism that Kierkegaard was familiar with from a very early
stage. The main figures in this context include the "forefather" of
Pietism Johann Arndt, the Reformed writer Gerhard Tersteegen, and
the Danish author Hans Adolph Brorson. With regard to Catholicism,
Kierkegaard was familiar with several popular figures of Catholic
humanism, Post-Tridentine theology and Baroque spirituality, such
as FranAois Fenelon, Ludwig Blosius and Abraham a Sancta Clara. He
was also able to find inspiration in highly controversial and
original figures of the Renaissance and the early Modern period,
such as Girolamo Savonarola or Jacob BAhme, the latter of whom was
at the time an en vogue topic among trendsetting philosophers and
theologians such as Hegel, Franz von Baader, Schelling and Hans
Lassen Martensen.
