Reviews

There are very few scholarly books that are also page-turners, but we have one in The Religion of Existence. The reading of Kierkegaard is epiphanic, as is the connection that Khawaja carefully threads between pietism and existentialism. Written with a feather touch, this amazing study calls for a recalibration of our understanding of the relation between Kierkegaard, Heidegger, and Sartre. --Gordon Marino, St. Olaf College


Khawaja has produced a searching work that ranges over a vast terrain of philosophical argumentation, from Kierkegaard s analysis of Christian existence to Heidegger s existential analytic to Sartre s phenomenological ontology. Its grasp of the relevant philosophical issues is impressive, and its lucid style of exposition should serve to remind us that Continental philosophy can be engaging as well as deep. --Peter E. Gordon, Harvard University
