Kierkegaard and Political Theology

The nature of Kierkegaards political legacy is complicated by the religious character of his writings. Exploring Kierkegaards relevancy for this political-theological moment this volume offers trans-disciplinary and multi-religious perspectives on Kierkegaard studies and political theology. Privileging contemporary philosophical and political-theological work that is based on Kierkegaard this volume is an indispensable resource for Kierkegaard scholars theologians philosophers of religion ethicists and critical researchers in religion looking to make sense of current debates in the field. While this volume shows that Kierkegaards theological legacy is a thoroughly political one we are left with a series of open questions as to what a Kierkegaardian interjection into contemporary political theology might look like. And so like Kierkegaards writings this collection of essays is an argument with itself and as such will leave readers both edified and scratching their heads--for all the right reasons.
