Kierkegaard and Christianity

The theme of this third volume of the Acta Kierkegaardiana project goes to the very heart of Kierkegaard’s thought. The papers collected in this volume are testimony to a continued interest in Kierkegaard’s thinking about Christianity, and the challenge that that thinking presents. The stand that we as commentators and readers take on Kierkegaard’s views about Christianity, and the issue of how those views stand to the rest of his thought, bears upon: who we think Kierkegaard is; the nature of his work; as well as what we conceive of ourselves to be doing when we engage in Kierkegaard scholarship and commentary. Any Kierkegaard scholar worth his or her metal is going to admit that Kierkegaard’s work has something to do with Christianity, the important question is: what? In exploring this question, the present volume casts new light on the work and thought on one of the most enigmatic figures in the history of philosophy.
