The Prayers of Kierkegaard

Select Condition 
Book Overview
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 primarily a poet or a philosopher, Kierkegaard is revealed as a fundamentally religious thinker whose central problem was that of becoming a Christian, of realizing personal existence. Perry D. LeFevre's penetrating analysis takes the reader to the religious center of Kierkegaard's world.

Authenticity
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
If only more Christians sought God as authentically and deeply as Kierkegaard did. The prayers that are prayed here are not meant to impress the reader or to demonstrate theological insights(though they most assuredly do), but are simply the product of a man who wanted nothing other than to know and please God.
An inspirational and thought-provoking collection of prayers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I have actually only read excerpts found in the book Devotional Classics. I was so moved and affected my the prayers including in that book, that I have been searching for the entire book. The prayers are insightful and thought provoking. They would make a terrific daily devotional.
