PRAYERS OF KIERKEGAARD

Soren Kierkegaard's influence has been felt in many areas of human thought from
theology to psychology. The nearly one hundred of his prayers gathered here from
published works and private papers, not only illuminate his own life of prayer,
but speak to the concerns of Christians today.

The second part of the volume
is a reinterpretation of the life and thought of Kierkegaard. Long regarded as p
rimarily a poet or a philosopher, Kierkegaard is revealed as a fundamentally rel
igious thinker whose central problem was that of becoming a Christian, of realiz
ing personal existence. Perry D. LeFevre's penetrating analysis takes the reader
to the religious center of Kierkegaard's world.
