Description
Provocations contains a little of everything from Kierkegaard's prodigious output: his famously cantankerous (yet wryly humorous) attacks on what he calls the ''mediocre shell'' of conventional Christianity, his brilliantly pithy parables, his wise (and witty) sayings. Most significantly, it brings to a new generation a man whose writings pare away the fluff of modern spirituality to reveal the basics of the Christ-centered life: decisiveness, obedience, and recognition of the truth.
Reviews / Votes
Philip Yancey Kierkegaard has taught me, moved me, perplexed me, and always provoked my thinking in new directions. I'm delighted to see his work in such an accessible form. Eugene Peterson, author, Subversive Spirituality In a culture awash in religious silliness, Kierkegaard's bracing metaphors expose our mediocrities and en- ergize us with a clarified sense of what it means to follow Jesus. Christianity Today Readable and spiritually vibrant. ACT Digest Provocations is more of a health farm than a holiday. At the very least it shows that we are not the first generation to find the Church disappointing, the mind and spirit in tension, and God wonderfully paradoxical.More details
