Book description
Søren Kierkegaard's 13 communion discourses constitute a distinct
genre among the various forms of religious writing composed by
Kierkegaard. Originally published at different times and places,
Kierkegaard himself believed that these discourses served as a
unifying element in his work and were crucial for understanding his
religious thought and philosophy as a whole. Written in an intensely
personal liturgical context, the communion discourses prepare the
reader for participation in this rite by emphasizing the appropriate
posture for forgiveness of sins and confession.
"The book is very nicely produced and has an excellent index.
It will be a valuable resource for all libraries supporting religious
studies, theological studies, philosophy of religion, and Kierkegaard
studies. Summing Up: Highly recommended." -Choice
