Kierkegaard: A Brief Overview of the Life and Writings of Soren Kierkegaard (Theology for Life)

Interest in Kierkegaards writings continue decade after decade as generation after generation of readers discover their relevance. Kierkegaard wrote for that solitary individual the reader I call my ownordinary people not the learned scholars of northern Europe or even just for the citizens of Copenhagen. He wrote for every thoughtful reader everywhere in every time. How could one be so presumptive? One reason: The self in its multiple dimensions coupled with the human condition to which he gave his remarkable thought and passion are universal and timeless. They are themes about which we are incessantly preoccupied. And no author does a better job of plumbing their mysterious depths. That is why Kierkegaard can be understood and why he should be read.
