Kierkegaard on Faith and the Self represents a rich collection of studies that allow Sören Kierkegaard to speak directly to the questions of contemporary readers. Evans analyzes Kierkegaard as a philosopher, his perspectives on faith, reason, and epistemology, his ethics, and Kierkegaard's 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.

Review
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 Kierkegaard's 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 and Editor, International Kierkegaard Commentary
A treasure trove from one of the world's finest Kierkegaard scholars. Fully sensitive to both the philosophical and theological dimensions of Kierkegaard's thought, Evans makes connections one will not find elsewhere. Like Kierkegaard's own writing, these essays are at once conceptually rigorous and spiritually up-building. --Merold Westphal, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, Fordham University

The Misunderstood Kierkegaard,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Kierkegaard on Faith and the Self: Collected Essays (Provost) (Kindle Edition)
Most who are familiar with Kiekegaard know him largely as an irrationalist and this has tremendous import as we understand his metaphysics, epistemology and ethics. This book is tremendous in that it deconstructs Kierkegaard not according to our familiarity with him but according to his context and his writings. It's a solid book that demonstrates that Kierkegaard is largely misunderstood. I think you will find the book scholarly, challenging, and even inspiring.

Packs in solid food for thought,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kierkegaard on Faith and the Self: Collected Essays (Provost) (Hardcover)
Soren Kierkegaard's essays explore basic issues of faith, ethics and philosophy with a Christian perspective which emphasizes he has a lot to say about not just the philosophy genre he's associated with, but about the Christian church as a whole. From how religious language and concepts are misused to specific points about religious and Christian belief perspectives, KIERKEGAARD ON FAITH AND THE SELF: COLLECTED ESSAYS packs in solid food for thought.
