Kierkegaard and the Theology of the Nineteenth Century The Paradox and the Point of Contact

'Pattison's very interesting book contributes substantially to existing scholarship by presenting Kierkegaard's theological position as both coherent and unique. For those who prefer to neglect or undermine the theological commitments of Kierkegaard's thought, his book poses a real challenge. And on the other hand, for those who are concerned that regarding Kierkegaard as a theologian may come at the expense of appreciating him as a philosopher, it elegantly demonstrates that there is no place for such a concern. His book should be of great interest to students and scholars in both philosophy and theology.' Sharon Krishek, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem 'One for the specialist ...' Times Literary Supplement 'Relatively compact but thoroughly comprehensive ... Pattison's book is an extremely rich resource for further development ... a book that lays out a mountain of evidence that, probably, buries the old 'existentialist' reading for good.' Jason Goltz, The Bibliographia
