Description
"In this book Sylvia Walsh focuses on the writings of Kierkegaard's later period and locates the key to Kierkegaard's understanding of Christianity in the "inverse dialectic" that is involved in living Christianly." "In the four main chapters of this book, Walsh examines in detail how this inverse dialectic operates in the complementary, relationship of the negative qualifications of Christian existence - sin, the possibility of offense, self-denial, and suffering - to the positive qualifications - faith, forgiveness, new life/love/hope, and joy and consolation. It was Kierkegaard's aim, she argues, "to bring the negative qualifications, which he believed had been virtually eliminated in Christendom, once again into view, to provide them with conceptual clarity, and to show their essential relation to, and necessity in, securing a correct understanding and expression of the positive qualifications of Christian existence.""--Jacket.
