Book Synopsis
The crux of Soren Kierkegaard's presentation of Christianity is not that doctrine is unimportant, but that it is insufficient for a life lived in relationship with God. Joshua Cockayne explores the Christian spiritual life with Kierkegaard (in the guise of his various pseudonyms) as his guide and analytic theology as his key tool of engagement.
