Zusammenfassung:Preface -- On Kierkegaard's evangelical "reputation": A Kerygmatic introduction -- Kierkegaard's imaginary rural parish: The pastoral correctivity of the Gospel -- Waddling geese in the pulpit: The perils of reading and preaching the Bible -- What Barth got wrong about Kierkegaard: Subjectivity, objectivity, and preaching -- Is Kierkegaard an extremist?: The nuanced radicality of the Gospel -- Socratic street preaching: The paradox of (in)direct communication -- The image of love and the ideal of Christendom: An indirect theological engagement -- Taking the individual back to church: Toward a Kierkegaardian ecclesiology for post-Christendom
Soren Kierkegaard's vociferous attacks upon Christendom have hardly endeared him to the ecclesial establishment, yet the church continues to dismiss his paradoxical voice at its peril. This book moves beyond the ill-conceived postmodern interpretations of Kierkegaard's thought by illuminating his ecclesiological value through a distinctly kerygmatic lens. Kierkegaard's authorship demonstrated this mission in creative and arresting ways. His sharp critiques of academic theologians and duplicitous pastors remain starkly relevant today. Furthermore, his fascinating reflections on inconsequential sermons, biblical defamiliarity, indirect communication, pastoral correctivity, street preaching, revivalism, and even church furniture, further illustrate the ways he sought to reimply the gospel to a Christendom-poisoned church. Hearing Kierkegaard's ecclesiological voice afresh, we also see its surprising applicability to the post-Christendom situation, which may like to think it has moved on without him. This book will intrigue anyone interested in the fundamental questions of what it means to hear (or not to hear) the gospel today, if we dare to allow our ears to do so
