{"product_id":"kierkegaard-and-christian-faith-paul-martens-9781481304702","title":"Kierkegaard and Christian Faith","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eKierkegaard and Christian Faith\u003c\/i\u003e responds directly to the perennial and problematic concern of how to read Kierkegaard. Specifically, this volume presses the question of whether the existentialist philosopher, who so troubled the waters of nineteenth-century Danish Christendom, is a \"Christian thinker for \u003ci\u003eour\u003c\/i\u003e time.\" The chapters crisscross the disciplines of philosophy, theology, literature, and ethics, and are as rich in argument as they are diverse in style. Collectively the chapters demonstrate a principled agreement that Kierkegaard continues to be relevant, even imperative. \u003ci\u003eKierkegaard and Christian Faith\u003c\/i\u003e reveals just how Kierkegaard's work both defines and reconfigures what is meant by \"Christian thinker.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFollowing an autobiographical prologue by Kathleen Norris, this volume gathers the chapters in pairs around crucial themes: the use of philosophy (Merold Westphal and C. Stephen Evans), revelation and authority (Richard Bauckham and Paul J. Griffiths), Christian character (Sylvia Walsh and Ralph C. Wood), the relationship between the church and the world (Jennifer A. Herdt and Paul Martens), and moral questions of forgiveness and love (Simon D. Podmore and Cyril O'Regan). The volume underscores the centrality of Christianity to Kierkegaard's life and thought, and rightly positions Kierkegaard as a profound challenge to Christianity as it is understood and practiced today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Martens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1481304704\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781481304702\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Baylor University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 255\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 5.90w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2016","brand":"Paul Martens","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44065965474047,"sku":"9781481304702","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_31811514-8893-4e24-9d4f-a86813498973.jpg?v=1685404556","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kierkegaard-and-christian-faith-paul-martens-9781481304702","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
