Description: Exploring Kierkegaard's complex use of the Bible, the essays in this volume use source-critical research and tools ranging from literary criticism to theology and biblical studies, to situate Kierkegaard's appropriation of the biblical material in his cultural and intellectual context. This first tome of the volume considers the Old Testament and the canonically disputed literature of the Apocrypha.
Review Quotes: 'This excellent collection of essays brings together the best contemporary Kierkegaard scholarship. ... combines superb primary research and exegetical content of Kierkegaard's insights... This is a valuable resource not only for charting and reanalysing Kierkegaard's philosophy in light of Scripture, but for reanalysing one's own.' Theological Book Review
