Practice in Christianity is the second volume in what could be
called the "collected Works" of "Anti-Climacus," Kierkegaard's new
pseudonym. Anti-Climacus's first volume, The Sickness Unto Death,
appeared just a year earlier in 1849. The use of a pseudonym is
consistent with Kierkegaard's usual practice when presenting an
idealized statement of his subject, be it sexual seduction or
Christian theology. Anti-Climacus argues the conceptual content of
Christianity against the "leading thought of the times" and also
against the ethical and social import of the comforts and
consolations of bourgeois culture and religion which he called
"Christendom." In his own mind at least, Kierkegaards presents
Christianity as it must be thought and lived if it is to be
authentic. The Sickness unto Death and Practice in Christianity can
be and are read quite independently, but jointly they provide the
basis of Kierkegaard's devastating critique of a secularized,
culturally homogenized, and tame Christianity.

Kierkegaard's Either/Or can be read in multiple ways. One important
possible reading at the present time is to read it as a critique of
the sexual stereotyping of women (and, implicitly, the stereotyping
of men as well) and gender relations that characterize modern
Western thought. The stereotyping is not simple and unvarigated. To
mention two extremes, Kierkegaard's presentation of gender
relations range from the outrageous subjugation and domination of
woman shown in the "Diary of the Seducer," with which Kierkegaard
closes the first volume of Either/Or, to the affectionate and
gentle love that characterizes the relation of Judge William and
his wife in the second volume, where the best face is put upon
bourgeois marriage. In Either/Or, Part One, Kierkegaard presents
what he calls the aesthetic form of life. There he focuses on a
large variety of the stereotypical views of women, from a
sentimental and whining appraisal of her position in the world,
through the view that sexual exploitation is an uncontrollable
natural instinct and/or drive for which men are not morally
responsible, to the view that women is a jest, not to be taken
seriously as a moral and responsible being, and then that she is
just there as a sexual object or plaything to be reflectively
seduced on the male's terms and for his pleasure or rejection,
whatever suits him at the moment. Needless to say, this great
variety of views of the "uses" of woman has provoked a large
critique, and just as predictable, that critique is as varied as
the intellectual tools available for the analysis of a work that is
as literary as it is philosophic. The present collection of essays
treats these and many other of the most important issues raised in
Either/Or in fresh and perceptive ways. Even where familiar themes
are argued, the authors introduce innovative interpretive models,
new approaches and new materials are appealed to, or new rebuttal
arguments against previously held positions are offered. Several of
the articles, for instance, appropriate or criticize methods or
insights derived from postmodernism and/or feminist philosophy; an
approach that would have been unlikely two decades ago.

Christian Discourses contains some of Kierkegaard's most
constructive religious and social thought, founded on his deepening
appreciation of the ambiguity of our common human situation before
a loving yet commanding God. ""Christian Discourses"" is a
collection of provocative arguments and insights which should
redefine the approach to Kierkegaard's 'attack on Christendom' and
provoke a useful debate about the significance of his 'second
literature'.

Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling: Critical Appraisals was the first
anthology of essays on Kierkegaard's classic to be published in
English. The authors are a remarkable collection of scholars, some
already well known and some standing at the beginning of their
scholarly careers. The list of authors includes Louis Jacobs, David
A. Pailin, Merold Westphal, Paul Holmer, Edward F. Mooney, John
Donnelly, C. Stephen Evans, David J. Wren, Mark C. Taylor, Nancy
Jay Crumbine, and Jerry H. Gill. The collection contains
comparative, historical, and analytic essays focusing on
Kierkegaard's relations to the Akedah, the multiple tensions raised
by Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac. These essays abound with
penetrating insights into many Kierkegaardian concepts that are
important not just in Fear and Trembling but found throughout
Kierkegaard's writings, such as paradox, resignation, faith, the
absurd, the individual, the poet, the hero, immediacy, the ethical
and its suspension, the leap of faith, offence, and silence.
