Abstract

The authors, a father and son team from Pacific Lutheran University and Augustana College respectively, speak of their book as "not primarily a study of Kierkegaard, but a guide to the literature." Only one caveat should be applied to this description--it is a guide to the literature in English. When the authors turn to untranslated works they express their gratitude to someone else for translations, and the notes refer only to secondary sources in English. Although it is not a work of genuine scholarship or penetration, it does provide "a relatively simple introduction" to Kierkegaard's authorship.--J. T.
