| Summary: | The developments and trajectories in modern theology cannot be fully appreciated or understood apart from reference to Kierkegaard’s thought. Given the complexities of Kierkegaard’s authorship, it is not surprising that his influence on modern theology was varied but profound. Recent contributions to Kierkegaard scholarship have shed much light on the reception of Kierkegaard in modern theology. This essay explores primary themes of that reception and analyzes significant insights gained through that collection of research for our understanding of the ambivalent but weighty influence of Kierkegaard’s thought on modern theology. The essay also provides a window into a variety of ways Kierkegaard was both appreciated and misunderstood by significant modern theologians, with some implications for how we can read Kierkegaard profitably today in theological discourse |
