Kierkegaard's Livingroom : Faith and History in The Philosophical Fragments, Hardback Book

Kierkegaard's Livingroom : Faith and History in The Philosophical Fragments Hardback

Hardback

Description

He shows us that Kierkegaard's expressed intent is to provide readers with the opportunity to choose or reject Christ.

He explores the question of who Kierkegaard understands Jesus to be and why he believes that faith or history alone cannot answer this question, claiming that history is meaningful only when it is understood from the perspective of "sacred history." Kierkegaard's Livingroom explores what "sacred history" is, why it is so important to us, and why it depends on an incarnate God.

Mercer argues that Kierkegaard is not tilting at windmills but responding to Hegel's view of history and Kant's view of faith, showing that Kierkegaard has much to contribute to the debates on liberalism and post-modernism.
