""In calling for a leap of faith from universal human religiosity to commitment to the revelation of God in Christ, Kierkegaard foreshadowed the later theology of Karl Barth and the philosophy of the twentieth century existentialists. All of this makes him a fitting subject for treatment in a series of Critical Lives. . . . A compact study [that] may encourage those who are intrigued by this provocative and enigmatic figure to delve more deeply into his life and thought.""-- ""Methodist Recorder""
