Editorial Review Product Description One of Soren Kierkegaard's most important writings, Works of Love is a profound examination of the human heart, in which the great philosopher conducts the reader into the inmost secrets of Love. "Deep within every man," Kierkegaard writes, "there lies the dread of being alone in the world, forgotten by God, overlooked among the household of millions upon millions." Love, for Kierkegaard, is one of the central aspects of existence; it saves us from isolation and unites us with one another and with God. This new edition of Works of Love features an original foreword by Kierkegaard scholar George Pattison. Customer Reviews (15)

Editorial Review Product Description For Kierkegaard, the study of psychology is intrinsically linked with the task of personal becoming, reflecting his own struggle to overcome the dark and cheerless environment of his early life. His interpretive framework os consciously Christian. In his view, humankind was made for relation with God, and this recognition is basic to self-understanding. But in self-deception and rebellion against God, human beings are constantly resisting their own true happiness and fighting against their own best interests. On this Kierkegaardian premise, C. Stephen Evans unfolds the implications and effects of this human desire for wholeness and growth of the self. This book is written "for psychologists, pastors, counselors, and ordinary people struggling to understand themselves and others." Customer Reviews (2)

Editorial Review Product Description The anthology begins with Kierkegaard's early journal entries and traces the development of his work chronologically to the final The Changelessness of God. The book presents generous selections from all of Kierkegaard's landmark works, including Either/Or, Fear and Trembling, Works of Love, and The Sickness unto Death, and draws new attention to a host of such lesser-known writings as Three Discourses on Imagined Occasions and The Lily of the Field and the Bird of the Air. The selections are carefully chosen to reflect the unique character of Kierkegaard's work, with its shifting pseudonyms, its complex dialogues, and its potent combination of irony, satire, sermon, polemic, humor, and fiction. We see the esthetic, ethical, and ethical-religious ways of life initially presented as dialogue in two parallel series of pseudonymous and signed works and later in the "second authorship" as direct address. And we see the themes that bind the whole together, in particular Kierkegaard's overarching concern with, in his own words, "What it means to exist; . . . what it means to be a human being." Together, the selections provide the best available introduction to Kierkegaard's writings and show more completely than any other book why his work, in all its creativity, variety, and power, continues to speak so directly today to so many readers around the world.

5. Spiritual Writings: A New Translation and Selection by Soren Kierkegaard, George Pattison | |

Editorial Review Product Description In this new collection, Oxford theologian George Pattison translates and selects SØren Kierkegaard's previously neglected writings on spirituality—works that greatly deepen our understanding of the influential thinker. In philosophy and literature, Kierkegaard ("By far the most profound thinker of the nineteenth century"—Ludwig Wittgenstein) is generally perceived as epitomizing existential angst. However, there is much more to Kierkegaard than the popular image of the “melancholy Dane” or the iconoclastic critic of established Christendom. Alongside the pseudonymous books for which he is largely known, Kierkegaard also wrote many devotional works, which he called "upbuilding" or "edifying" discourses. Taken as a whole, these writings offer something very different from the popular view—they embody a spirituality grounded in a firm sense of human life as a divine gift. |

The Best Place To Start Reading Kierkegaard Bretall also avoids chopping up chapters and ripping quips and humorous digressions or controversial statements out of their context.For the most part he presents key chapters in their entirety and helps to reproduce their context for the reader either by explaining it in his helpful introductions or by presenting enough chapters from a given work that the context of a particular chapter is clear. Understanding Kierkegaard's context and that of his writings and that of the chapters within them is so crucial to fruitful engagement of his ideas that this compiled tornado of thought that Bretall provides is the best place to start reading him. But then again, I could be bias because that's how I started reading him... ... Read more |

Essential Kierkegaard Overall this book is absolutely fascinating.It is not puritanical or biased in the orthodox religious sense.It deals very fairly with the human experience of sin and guilt, and suggests that these types of feelings are essential to the basic experiences of memory, sentient consciousness, and temporal, existential being.Highly recommended to anyone who is willing to entertain the idea that sin is a basic building block of intelligent subjective experience. ...

Hard thoughts on love and Christianity "The whole of existence frightens me, from the smallest fly to the mystery of the Incarnation." These themes - Kierkegaard's fear and grief, contempt and anger, his view of things as they are and his hope of what they could be - are deeply enmeshed in these few excerpts from the philosopher's journals.Kierkegaard was, like most people, a person of contradictions - a man striving for faith and closeness to God, even as he finds himself frequenting bars and brothels. Composed of 60 excerpts from Kierkegaard's journals, this book is divided into sections labelled Personal Reflections, The Leap of Faith, Works of Love, Training in Christianity, Attack on Christendom, and Prayers.Most of the excerpts are his thoughts on Christianity and Christ as human and divine, but there is plenty for non-Christians to think on.In his section on Works of Love, emotional, or passionate, love is compared with everlasting love.The first, says Kierkegaard, fools us into believing it is the stronger, for it burns bright; as time moves on, though, jealousy and habit can turn such passionate love into hate or contempt.In The Leap of Faith section, Kierkegaard speaks to every person who believes in God or things beyond rational experience. Most of these selections seem negative, depressing in their view of people seeking comfort in their outward shows, content not to probe too far into truth, but a ribbon of hope and yearning laces through it all.In hopeful yearning, Kierkegaard reaches for God, wondering at the Infinite and the mercy it promises.For all these human failings, one is reminded that forgiveness is promised. For all the distance between people and God, Kierkegaard finds hope in Christ, God reaching out for humanity as humanity blindly gropes for God. This is the first book I have read by Kierkegaard, and it read quickly, though the individual passages (each of which is a short paragraph) could each spawn individual books.This book will inspire your own meditations and prayers.I expecially recommend this book to Christians, though, as I said before, there is plenty for non-Christians to ponder. Kierkegaard warns against those who cheat about life, "copying the answer out of a book, without having worked it out for themselves."If you copy from this book, cheater though you are, you will find new avenues to God and love. ...

Editorial Review Product Description Kierkegaard not only explored comic perception to its depths but also practiced the art of comedy as astutely as any writer of his time. This collection shows how his theory of comedy is integrated into his practice of comic perception, and how both are integral to his entire authorship. Kierkegaard's humor ranges from the droll to the rollicking; from farce to intricate, subtle analysis; from nimble stories to amusing aphorisms. In these pages you are invited to meet the wife of an author who burned her husband's manuscript and a businessman who, even with an abundance of calling cards, forgot his own name. You will hear of an interminable vacillator whom archeologists found still pacing thousands of years later, trying to come to a decision. Then there is the emperor who became a barkeeper in order to stay in the know. The Humor of Kierkegaard is for anyone ready to be amused by human follies. Those new to Kierkegaard will discover a dazzling mind worth meeting. Those already familiar with his theory of comedy will be delighted to see it concisely set forth and exemplified. Others may have read Kierkegaard intensively without having ever really noticed his comic side. Here they will find what they have been missing. Customer Reviews (2)

Typically Brilliant Kierkegaard
"if only we call this Christianity, we can get away with it" "As high as true Christianity standsabove all heresy and error and aberration, just so deep below all heresyand error and aberration lies [the] twaddle [ofChristendom]." "Think now what passion there was in primativeChristianity, without which it never would have come into the world;propose to one of those figures the question, 'Dare a Christiantranquillize himself in this way?' 'Abominable,' he would reply, 'that aChristian... should tranquilly keep silent in the face of the fact that Godevery day is mocked by people pretending by millions to beChristians...'"
The ultimate Conspiracy Theory The whole thing amountsto an elaborate Conspiracy theory. In order to be rid of ChristianitySociety has not rejected it, but enthroned it. But in so doing created ahierarchy (the institutional Church) with the covert purpose of makingcertain that Christianity does not exist. Christianity is professed as theStateReligion. There are many civil servant employed to promote it. Thereis much Real Estate devoted to it. Church attendance is high. And, as aresult, Christianity is effectively nullified, because it actually existsnowhere. One must remember that SK and Han Christian Andersen weredrinking buddies (they fell out when SK reviewed one of Andersen's novels)and SK here announces another naked emperor. In a Christian nation no oneis a Christian! If you are just starting SK I suggest this book becausehere he is at his most open and "direct." Everything else hasdeep ironic undercurrents, but a "surface" reading of this one isprobably close to right.
Insightful and intelligent, although a bit repetitive... All of this does, however, become somewhat prolix,as this book is actually just a series of articles and pamphlets that hewrote in a 2-year span, which were then combined into the present work. Still, though, this book is an enjoyable read, due to the satirical styleof K.'s writing and the, however arguable, relevance of the subject.Irecommend reading "Training in Christianity", though, as anintroduction to this book. ...
