Soren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) was first and foremost a Christian
thinker who is perhaps best known for his devastating attack upon
Christendom or the established order of his time. Not since Luther
has there been a Protestant thinker who has so uncompromisingly
sought to define and present Christianity in its utmost integrity.
Characterizing Christianity as an 'existence-communication' rather
than a doctrine, Kierkegaard sought to portray what it means to be
a Christian in the strictest sense in the interest of reintroducing
authentic Christianity as an existential possibility for every
individual in the modern age. Sylvia Walsh explores Kierkegaard's
understanding of Christianity and the existential mode of thinking
theologically appropriate to it in the context of the intellectual,
cultural, and socio-political milieu of his time. She contrasts his
approach with objective ways of doing theology which in his view
falsify Christianity and the believer's relation to it. The study
begins with a biographical overview of the personal and
intellectual influences, theological upbringing, important events,
and phases of authorship in Kierkegaard's life. Walsh highlights
some of his most important contributions to Christian thought
concerning the Christian understanding of God; our human condition
in anxiety, sin, and despair and the task of becoming a self before
God; Christ as the absolute paradox, redeemer, and prototype; the
Christian life of faith, hope, and love; and the relation of
religion, culture, and society."
