Routledge Kierkegaard's Influence on Theology - Volume 10, Tome II

Kierkegaard has always enjoyed a rich reception in the fields of theology and religious studies. This reception might seem obvious given that he is one of the most important Christian writers of the nineteenth century, but Kierkegaard was by no means a straightforward theologian in any traditional sense. He had no enduring interest in some of the main fields of theology such as church history or biblical studies, and he was strikingly silent on many key Christian dogmas. Moreover, he harboured a degree of animosity towards the university theologians and churchmen of his own day. This comprehensive volume explores how Kierkegaard's thought shaped both Anglophone and Scandinavian Protestant theology, examining his lasting impact on religious philosophy and practice across these distinct theological traditions.
