Evans analyzes Kierkegaard as a philosopher, his perspectives on faith, reason, and epistemology, ethics, and his view of the self. Evans makes a strong case that Kierkegaard has something crucial to say to the Christian church as a philosopher and something equally crucial to say to the philosophical world as a Christian believer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"[E]xcellent and well-written... It is clear that Evans' love for Kierkegaard is driven by his conviction that Kierkegaard will help one become both a better philosopher and a better Christian. With this in mind, Evans exhorts his reader to pick up Kierkegaard for herself, to be troubled by Kierkegaard in a good way.\" -- Prespectives in Religious Studies (2011, 38:1)\u003cbr\u003e\"A treasure trove from one of the worlds finest Kierkegaard scholars.  Fully sensitive to both the philosophical and theological dimensions of Kierkegaards thought, Evans makes connections one will not find elsewhere.  Like Kierkegaards own writing, these essays are at once conceptually rigorous and spiritually up-building.\" -- Merold Westphal, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, Fordham University\u003cbr\u003e\"This collection of nineteen essays by Steve Evans is a treasure trove of incisive analytic papers on topics ranging from Kierkegaard's approach to philosophy to an extended reformist reading that illuminates both Kierkegaard and Plantinga in addition to penetrating studies of Kierkegaards views of ethics, authority, and philosophical psychology.  An absolutely necessary volume for Kierkegaard scholars, it will prove quite important for others in adjacent philosophic disciplines.\" -- Robert L Perkins, Professor of Philosophy, Emeritus, at Stetson University \u0026amp; Editor, International Kierkegaard Commentary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Note on Citations from Kierkegaard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSIGLA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePART ONE.
