Provocations
Richard Mouw,
Fuller Theological Seminary
Kierkegaard’s writings seem to get more “contemporary” every year.
This well-selected collection of writings should be read and re-read by
everyone who is attempting to minister to our present generation.
William Willimon,
Duke University Chapel
Moore has done us a great service in sifting through Kierkegaard and
giving us his essential writings. Here is a book to be savored, enjoyed,
and yes, provoked by.
Donald Bloesch,
author,
The Crisis of Piety
An important and helpful guide to Kierkegaard’s spirituality.
Gregory A. Clark,
North Park University
Since Kierkegaard scholarship has become a cottage industry, it is has
become possible to exchange Kierkegaard’s passion for a passion for
Kierkegaard’s works. Moore’s introduction and collection retrieve the
passion that animates Kierkegaard himself. That passion, with all its
force, still addresses the reflective reader.
Vernon Grounds,
Chancellor, Denver Seminary
The editor needs to be congratulated on discerning in the overwhelm-
ing task of choosing the best when everything is of the highest quality.
This book is an outstanding addition to Kierkegaard publications. It
will influence readers to become enthusiastic students of his Christ-
centered thought.
Daniel Taylor,
author,
The Myth of Certainty
I discover in Kierkegaard an honesty, passion, and insight into the hu-
man condition and the life of faith that speaks to my deepest needs.
Kierkegaard is one of a small handful of thinkers with whom every re-
flective Christian must come to terms.
Clark H. Pinnock,
author,
Flame of Love
Provocations
brings Søren Kierkegaard, a fountain of deep wisdom
and radical faith, to readers who might otherwise have difficulty un-
derstanding him. Here one finds many solid and well-chosen excerpts
from across the entire literary corpus of this most paradoxical prophet
and insightful philosopher.
Arthur F. Holmes,
author,
Fact, Value, and God
…Provides a helpful overview of Kierkegaard’s thinking that cannot
be gained from reading just one or two of his books.
Provocations
cap-
tures his spirit and core concerns without neglecting lesser themes,
while preserving his style and readying the reader for his major works.
Diogenes Allen,
author,
Spiritual Theology
A comprehensive selection from Kierkegaard’s massive output, ar-
ranged so as to give the reader an appreciation of the main themes and
preoccupations of Kierkegaard’s thought.
Colin Brown,
Fuller Theological Seminary
Moore has provided enough introductory material to enable the
reader to understand Kierkegaard’s thought in the context of his life
and times. Otherwise, his judicious selection lets the texts speak for
themselves. Here is a book for meditation, for quiet reading, for faith
and for understanding.
Kelly James Clark,
author,
When Faith Is Not Enough
With its excellent introduction and astute selections of texts, this book
unleashes the ferociously important Kierkegaard. This work admira-
bly clarifies Kierkegaard’s often opaque but passionate thoughts on
faith, freedom, and the meaning of life.
