Böcker i Mercer Kierkegaard Series-serien

Provides an extended, close reading of Fear and Trembling, Kierkegaard's well-known, pseudonymous book about Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac. The book then fits this (in)famous work into the broader and puzzling corpus that includes both other pseudonymous works and signed discourses by this same mercurial author.

Addresses Soren Kierkegaard's political theology from a variety of perspectives, focusing on his specific views of the political and its implications for the expression of Christian love in the context of civil society in Kierkegaard's time as well as in contemporary society in America.

In an age of increasing cultural polarization that has led many people to consider retreat into enclaves of the like-minded, this book seeks to persuade that we need better quality conversations across ideological camps, and that the writings of Soren Kierkegaard and Rene Girard provide very effective tools for facilitating such conversations.
