"Abingdon Pillars of Theology" is a series for the college and
seminary classroom designed to help students grasp the basic and
necessary facts, influence, and significance of major theologians.
Written by noted scholars, these books will outline the context,
methodology, organizing principles, primary contributions, and key
writings of people who have shaped theology as we know it
today.Soren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) "foresaw, the power of mass
culture to numb the human spirit has only waxed in strength and
virulence. The prostitution of religion to legitimate
self-aggrandizing ideologies has become a veritable global
industry. The reduction of neighbor-love to the most minimal
standards of decent behavior has devolved to the point where
slightly altruistic celebrities are heralded as Christ-like saints.
The deep yearnings of the human heart are being suffocated by
trivial amusements, technological toys, and the manipulation of the
psyche. Now, perhaps more than ever, Christianity needs an
aggravating Socrates to disturb its complicity with a culture of
individual self-gratification and corporate self-deification."
